On Friday, the American District Judge Amy Bermon approved the request of employees, advocates and union representatives to present a preliminary ban, preventing the bureau.
“The court cannot look at or will be dissolved and dismissed and dismantled in all thirty days, and before this lawsuit came to its conclusion,” he wrote the judge in her order.
She agreed with prosecutors that there was a risk of imminent, irreparable damage, given the speed with which the efforts of the Trump Administration took place.
“If the accused did not enjoy, eliminate the Agency before the Court that he has the opportunity to decide whether the law is allowed to do so,” Bermon Jackson wrote.
The decision was the latest in the guaranteed court decisions faced by the campaign of the Trump Administration to simplify the Federal Government, often through wide staff cuts and removal of entire agencies and departments.
Earlier in the day, State Secretary Marco Rubio even announced that he informed the Congress Plans for Absorption U.S. International Development Agency (USAID) in the State Department, by placing their independent functions under executive control.
But critics questioned whether such maneuvers are laws. They claim that agencies like USAID and CFPB are created as an independent organization in accordance with the Congress and that the president has overpayed his constitutional boundaries overcoming those congress decisions.
CFPB, especially, is a long target of conservative IRE.
Established in 2011. year, the Bureau was founded in response to the 2007 financial crisis. Year that prompted predatory loan practices.
As an independent agency, the CFPB served as a guard, collecting research, monitoring financial markets and field appeals of ordinary consumers facing illegal or deceptive funds of their financial services.
From 204. December, the Bureau claimed for a loan for the return of $ 21 billion in consumers through a debt, reduction or cash fee arising from their executive activities.
But many Republicans and the leaders of the financial industries were executed on their Implementing and regulatory activitiesaccusing the bureau for interfering with companies.
On 31 January, soon after the beginning of his second term, the trump passed to fire the director of the Bureau, Rohit Chopra and replaced him with Federal Federal.
Until 8. February, the bureau was ordered to stop all investigations, including waiting and stop any executive activity basically stopping their functions. The next day he was closed his seat. The bureau also began to see the same widespread releases faced with other federal agencies.
Judge Berman Jackson opened his decision of 112 pages with citations of some CFPB critics within the Trump Administration.
“The CFPB woke up a long weapon against the unprotected industry and individual. It must be completed,” Russell said, director of the Management Office and Budget under Trump.
The second critic quoted in the order of Berman Jackson was Trump’s advisor and a billionaire businessman Elon Muskwho called for “deletion” of the bureau.
“CFPB RIP,” he wrote on 7th. February, because his government’s efficiency (Doge) department led the dismantling of the organization.
Musk was charged with a conflict of interest with CFPB, because it expands financial services available on its social media platform X.
Jackson’s judge emphasized that he did not take his decision in opening his judgment lines.
“The Preliminary Prohibition request is removed for one question: if the court should take measures to preserve the Bureau for Financial Consumer Financial Protection, before this fate was resolved?” Berman Jackson wrote. “It’s an outstanding step.”
However, she indicated that the ban was needed: “The Supervision of the Court is the only thing that holds the accused back.”
Among the prosecutors were the national civil servant for the cash register and the National Association for the Improvement of Colored People (NAACP), reputable civil law organizations.
But there was an individual named in the appeal: the Reverend Eva Stega, the 83-year-old Lutheran Pastor seeking the help of CFPB for student loans that was formed as it originated in the seminary.
As he explored the case of the clamp, CFBP found not only qualified for the forgiveness of the loan, but also for $ 15,000 returned to overpayments.
The clamps is at the hospital at the time, according to the appeal.
“She was her hope that she would solve the debt and spare your family who was the burden after she died,” Jackson’s judge wrote in her judgment.
But sudden CFPB shutdown remained in the back in the LUCK, without resolution to its case or refund of its overpayment.
“Stegeno fear of leaving the survivors of family members who were credited with his student loan debt, until 15. March, when she died,” the judge explained.
Bermon Jackson said that the case asked questions about separating the authority towards the United States Constitution and whether the president withdrew to the “Legislative Body”.
“Evidence reveals that the accused were in fact involved in harmonized, accelerated effort to fully close the Agency when the request for the Law for Relief,” she wrote.
“While the President is free to propose the legislation of the Congress in order to achieve this goal, the accused are not free to eliminate the statute created alone, and certainly not the opportunity to rule the merit of the prosecutor’s challenges.”
She also pointed out what she called “disappointing” arguments of the lawyer of Trump administration.
“The court was left with a little confidence that the Defense can be believed to tell the truth about anything,” the judge wrote.
