DOGE v. CFPB

🔴 UPDATE: March 28, 2025
Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Shutdown of Consumer Protection Bureau, Orders Employees Reinstated

Trump tried to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in broad daylight—firing staff, shuttering operations, and handing Wall Street a blank check. But this time, the courts said no.

Yesterday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued a sweeping injunction blocking the Trump administration’s illegal effort to dismantle the CFPB, restoring the agency’s leadership and ordering the reinstatement of its employees.

Key Developments:

• Judge Jackson’s order reverses mass firings and forced closures across the CFPB, writing that the administration showed “a complete disregard for congressional authority.” (ABC News)

• The injunction halts the shutdown and forces the Trump administration to restore the CFPB’s operations and consumer complaint systems, which protect Americans from fraud, predatory lending, and credit abuse. (Reuters)

• NPR reports that over 300 CFPB employees were terminated without warning, and the administration had begun liquidating internal operations before the court stepped in. (NPR)

• Trump’s justification was, as always, “efficiency”—but even conservative legal scholars raised alarms over the brazen violation of the Dodd-Frank Act, which explicitly protects the CFPB’s independence. (Fox Business)

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?

This wasn’t about “draining the swamp”—it was about freeing the predators.

The oligarchs win when watchdogs disappear. The CFPB was created after the 2008 financial collapse to protect Americans from the very kinds of scams and predatory practices that Wall Street lobbies to keep legal.

And who pays? Everyday Americans trying to stay above water. Veterans targeted by payday lenders. Seniors trapped in reverse mortgage scams. Families crushed by junk fees and bogus credit reporting.

This was the robber barons trying to dismantle the last line of defense between them and your wallet.

🔍 Why This Matters:

The CFPB is one of the few federal agencies that exists solely to protect the public from financial exploitation. That’s exactly why the Trump regime—and the oligarchs behind it—want it gone.

When they can’t buy off a regulator, they destroy the agency. That’s the model.
That’s the plan.

🚨 The Bottom Line:

This was an attempted financial coup.

Trump didn’t just try to shut down a consumer agency—he tried to wipe out a safeguard designed to stop Wall Street from bleeding working Americans dry.

The court stopped him—for now. But the next attack is already on its way.
