A federal judge has ruled that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) cannot proceed with additional layoffs or delete crucial data. Judge Amy Berman Jackson's decision comes amid severe staffing reductions driven by the Trump administration and raises concerns over workforce management and data privacy. Following significant staff terminations this week, the ruling is seen as a major win for the National Treasury Employees Union, which has filed lawsuits against the agency to protect employees and sensitive data. The judge's decision underscores tensions between the CFPB and the current administration, set against broader governmental workforce cuts.
"Judge Jackson ruled that the CFPB cannot proceed with further layoffs or delete critical data, providing significant relief to agency employees amid ongoing workforce reductions."
"The ruling emphasized the importance of protecting sensitive data within the CFPB, while the agency's operations faced drastic cuts under the current administration's direction."
