A federal judge agreed Friday to block the Trump administration from dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency that was targeted for mass firings before the court바카라 게임 웹사이트�s intervention.U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson agreed to issue a preliminary injunction that maintains the agency바카라 게임 웹사이트�s existence until she rules on the merits of a lawsuit seeking to preserve the agency. The judge said the court "can and must act바카라 게임 웹사이트� to save the agency from being shuttered.Jackson ruled that, without a court order, President Donald Trump's administration would move quickly to shut down the agency that Congress created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.바카라 게임 웹사이트�If the defendants are not enjoined, they will eliminate the agency before the Court has the opportunity to decide whether the law permits them to do it, and as the defendants바카라 게임 웹사이트� own witness warned, the harm will be irreparable,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Berman Jackson said in her order.Deepak Gupta, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said in a statement that the ruling "blocks the unprecedented plan to dismantle the CFPB 바카라 게임 웹사이트� an agency that Congress created to protect Americans바카라 게임 웹사이트� financial security. This ruling upholds the Constitution바카라 게임 웹사이트�s separation of powers and preserves the Bureau바카라 게임 웹사이트�s vital work.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We바카라 게임 웹사이트�re heartened by the decision and look forward to continuing to press our case in court," Gupta said.During a March 10 hearing, Jackson heard testimony about the chaos that erupted inside the agency after government employees were ordered to stop working last month. The bureau바카라 게임 웹사이트�s chief operating officer, Adam Martinez, said the agency was in 바카라 게임 웹사이트�wind-down mode바카라 게임 웹사이트� after Trump fired its previous director, Rohit Chopra, on Feb. 1.Trump installed a temporary replacement who ordered the immediate suspension of all agency operations, cancelled $100 million in contracts and fired 70 employees.Martinez said the agency바카라 게임 웹사이트�s current leaders have adopted a more methodical approach than they initially did last month, when representatives of Elon Musk바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Department of Government Efficiency arrived at its Washington headquarters.CFPB is responsible for protecting consumers from financial fraud and deceptive practices. It processes consumer complaints and examines banks to protect student loan borrowers.The National Treasury Employees Union, which represents more than 1,000 workers at the bureau, sued on Feb. 9 to block mass firings. Plaintiffs바카라 게임 웹사이트� attorneys argue that the administration doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have the constitutional authority to eliminate an agency that Congress created by statute.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The defendants바카라 게임 웹사이트� unlawful action will have immediate consequences for the Americans that the CFPB was designed by Congress to protect,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the lawyers wrote.Government lawyers have said the plaintiffs are seeking to impermissibly place the CFPB in a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�judicially managed receivership,바카라 게임 웹사이트� with the court overseeing its day-to-day operations.Jackson started her 112-page ruling by quoting Trump and his allies' own words about the bureau. Trump's billionaire adviser, Elon Musk, posted 바카라 게임 웹사이트�CFPB RIP바카라 게임 웹사이트� on X, his social media platform, and added an emoji of a tombstone. White House budget director Russell Vought said it has been 바카라 게임 웹사이트�a woke and weaponized agency against disfavored industries and individuals for a long time.바카라 게임 웹사이트� Trump called it "a very important thing to get rid of."바카라 게임 웹사이트�In sum, the Court cannot look away or the CFPB will be dissolved and dismantled completely in approximately thirty days, well before this lawsuit has come to its conclusion,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Jackson wrote.Among the plaintiffs was 83-year-old Eva Steege, a Lutheran pastor in hospice care who had been working with CFPB to resolve her student loan debt before her death. The agency found she qualified for loan forgiveness and a $15,000 refund of overpayments, but the stop-work order went into effect before she could have a follow-up meeting and the official she was working with was fired.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Steege바카라 게임 웹사이트�s fear of leaving her surviving family members saddled with her student loan debt came to pass on March 15, when she died,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the judge wrote.___Associated Press writer Lindsay Whitehurst contributed to this report.
