💨 Abstract

A federal judge has temporarily halted the Trump administration's plan to fire nearly all employees at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, expressing concern about the mass layoffs. The judge's decision leaves the bureau, which was established to safeguard against fraud and deceptive practices, in limbo. The administration argues that the bureau has overstepped its authority, intending to reshape it with a more limited mission and smaller staff.
