On February 13, 2025, NCLC, along with the NAACP, the Virginia Poverty Law Center, individual Plaintiff Pastor Eva Steege and the CFPB Employee Association, joined a lawsuit as Plaintiffs that was filed by the National Treasury Employees Union against the CFPB’s Acting Director Russell Vought in D.C federal court. Plaintiffs moved for a Temporary Restraining order to stop Acting Director Vought from carrying out mass firings of CFPB staff, directing the CFPB to cease work, cancelling contracts and otherwise suspending the operations of the CFPB. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that these actions are illegal because Trump’s appointment of Vought as Acting Director was unconstitutional.
