Federal judge orders halt to Trump admin's CFPB terminations
Fox News
Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson temporarily halted the Trump administration from proceeding with mass layoffs at the Consumer Financial Protections Bureau after an appeals court had narrowed her earlier injunction.
Her order comes after plaintiffs in the case, which include the CFPB Employee Association and other labor entities, accused the government of violating her earlier injunction. The plaintiffs alleged these layoffs would take place on Friday evening.

Jackson noted on Friday that the agency was slated to carry out a reduction in force, or RIF, of roughly 1,400 employees — which would have left just several hundred in place.
