CFPB: Judge pauses Trump administration’s plans for mass layoffs at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Washington – A federal judge prevented the administration of President Donald Trump from dismantling the Financial Consumer Protection Office on Friday that the office could not immediately proceed with plans to shoot hundreds of employees.

The American boycott judge Amy Berman Jackson said that she is “deeply anxious” that Trump administration officials do not comply with her previous matter that maintains the existence of the office until she judged the advantages of the lawsuit that it seeks to preserve.

During a hearing, Jackson said it would prevent officials from carrying out any mass launches or cutting the access of employees to the office’s computer systems on Friday.

Jackson set a hearing on April 28 to hear a certificate from officials who were working on the applicable reduction, RIF, procedures.

“I am ready to solve it quickly, but I will not let this RIF progress until I have,” she said.

About 1500 employees are to be cut off, leaving about 200 people.

Trump, a Republican, sought to reshape the federal government, saying that she stumbled on fraud, waste and abuse. Conservatives and companies have often been formulated in supervision and investigations in the office, and made Trump’s adviser Elon Musk a great goal in the Ministry of Government efficiency.
