The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has received a temporary court order preventing mass layoffs and funding alterations due to a lawsuit against the Trump administration. This ruling comes as new acting director Russell Vought initiated layoffs, leading to widespread employee protests and fears regarding the CFPB's future. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued a consent order ensuring no firings would occur without cause, while also prohibiting fund redirection and alteration of sensitive data. The legal battle continues, with a preliminary injunction hearing scheduled for March 3, reflecting ongoing concerns about consumer protection.
