A federal judge issued a temporary halt to the mass firing of approximately 1,500 employees at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
These firings, representing nearly 90% of the CFPB's workforce, were part of a Trump administration restructuring effort.
The judge expressed deep concern that these actions violated prior court orders and potentially jeopardized ongoing legal cases.
The judge's ruling ensured that dismissed employees maintained computer access, temporarily preventing complete disruption within the agency.
