The Trump administration has agreed to halt the mass firing of employees at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) following an emergency court challenge. This decision comes after concerns were raised about the ongoing dismantling of the agency.
As part of the agreement approved by a federal judge in Washington, the CFPB's monetary reserves will remain untouched, and no data or records protected by law will be deleted or altered. The legal challenge to the changes at the CFPB will continue in early March before Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the DC District Court.
