Tap title to read story
The Trump administration initiated layoffs at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), potentially affecting up to 1,500 of its 1,700 employees. This action follows a court ruling that partially lifted an injunction blocking the firings. Hundreds of employees across all divisions received layoff notices, losing email and system access. The CFPB staff union estimates widespread office eliminations. A judge scheduled an emergency hearing to determine if the administration violated her injunction.
