A district court handed the Trump administration another victory on Friday, overturning an injunction that had previously blocked its effort to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
On February 1, President Trump dismissed CFPB Director Rohit Chopra, a Biden appointee. Acting Director Russell Vought subsequently ordered staff to cease all operations and close the agency’s headquarters. The move prompted a lawsuit from the National Treasury Employees Union, representing most CFPB employees, along with other plaintiffs.
In late March, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued a preliminary injunction halting the Trump administration’s actions, the Daily Wire reported.
