Judge #AmyBermanJackson said she is “deeply concerned” that #Trump admin ofcls aren’t complying with her earlier order that maintains the #CFPB’s existence until she rules on the merits of a lawsuit seeking to preserve it.

During the hearing, Jackson said she will bar ofcls from any #MassFirings or cutting off employees’ access to bureau computer systems.

Jackson scheduled a hearing on April 28 to hear testimony from ofcls who were working on the reduction in force, or #RIF, procedures.

Judge #AmyBermanJackson of the Federal District Court in Washington said she intended to issue an order later on Friday preventing the #CFPB’s workers from being cut off from the agency’s system, as the agency’s leaders had planned. She said she intended to follow up later this month with a more extensive hearing on the planned #layoffs. Until then, they will not move forward, she said.

Ahead of Fri’s court hearing on Thur’s #job cuts at the #CFPB, the #union repping the bureau’s staff countered w/their own legal filings that said the #MassFiring would make it impossible to perform the agency’s required tasks. E.G., the agency said that it was cutting the Office #Consumer Response, which expects to handle 5M complaints this year, to 20 workers down from 149. The office’s chief of staff…said…that “the office will be incapable of performing its statutory duties”….

In court filings ahead of the hearing, Mark Paoletta, the bureau’s chief legal officer, defended the #purge, which he said would “right-size” an agency filled w/ “vast waste.” Paoletta said he & others had determined that it needed only 200 workers. Many legally required units — including those that focus on #FairLending, #StudentLoans & protections for older Americans — need only one! employee, he said.

In an email sent to CFPB staff on Wednesday, CFPB chief legal officer Mark Paoletta announced that the agency would be shifting its focus away from its supervisory roles and towards “tangible harm to consumers.” Medical debt, student loans, consumer data, and digital payments have all been identified as topics the CFPB will “deprioritize,” according to the document. wired.com/story/cfpb-has-been-

Your💰is at risk:

The #CFPB will cut its inspections of FIN services cos. in half while focusing on threats to MIL personnel & turning away from areas like student loans, med debt, digital pymts & consumer data -would focus less on matters where st-level agencies also have jurisdiction & would cut the number of supervisory "events" by🚨50%, sharply reducing the supervision of nonbanks.

It'll "deprioritize" its oversight of digital payments, consumer data...
