Judge Blocks Mass CFPB Layoffs, Hearing Scheduled
Tap title to read story
A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration's plan to lay off over 1,400 employees from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that the administration must provide more evidence justifying the mass layoffs, which affect roughly 90% of the agency's workforce. The layoffs, initially scheduled for June 16th, were challenged by the National Treasury Employees Union. The judge's decision follows an earlier ruling that slowed firings of probationary employees. A hearing is set for April 28th, and the administration may appeal the decision.
