The Trump administration’s planned reduction-in-force would terminate more than 1,400 employees at the bureau, reducing the agency’s workforce to around 200 employees.

The executive order aligns with the bureau’s 2025 supervision and enforcement priorities.

The bureau is entangled in a lawsuit that alleges the agency authorized DOGE employees to access computer systems containing sensitive information.

Population density, the type of lender and creditworthiness all appear to be factors affecting denial rate disparities between same-sex and opposite-sex couples applying for loans.

The bureau’s credit card late fee final rule is officially dead; CFPB plans to revoke advisory opinion reminding collectors of medical debt of their FDCPA obligations; CFPB ends a lawsuit against a company and its CEO; new working papers from the CFPB.

The new preliminary injunction allows for the Trump administration to fire CFPB employees and issue a reduction-in-force to employees, as long as the administration abides by certain provisions.

Republicans in the House urged the CFPB to rescind Biden-era guidance documents, interpretive rules, advisory opinions and circulars that weren’t issued pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act.

Following years of legal action that have stalled the implementation of the bureau’s original Section 1071 rule, the CFPB announced that it will roll out a new version of the rule.

Jonathan McKernan, nominee for CFPB director, said he thought former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra was “on to something” by focusing on data collection issues.
