Judges Block Demolition of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Employee Orders are offered

A federal judge hinders the demolition of the consumer financial protection bureau, finding Trump’s government acting “fully violating the law” when trying to close the organization.

Judge Amy Merman Jackson issued a preliminary order on Friday afternoon which requires Trump administration to return the CFPB employee who is stopped, canceling any contract that has been canceled, enables the workforce to access their computers and return to the office, continue the work needed legally and maintain any records held by the organization.

“If the defendants were not ordered, they would eliminate the agency before the court had the opportunity to decide whether the law allowed them to do it, and when the defendant’s own witness warned, the damage could not be repaired,” Jackson Jackon wrote.

The consumer financial protection agency, created by the congress to protect Americans against unfair business practices after the 2008 financial crisis, has been targeted to be eliminated by President Donald Trump as part of his efforts to cut the federal government.

Trump said CFPB “is very important to be removed” and that the organization was “established to destroy some very good people.”
