Group Amicus Brief to Federal Court of Appeals: “Unilateral, Unlawful Dismantling” of the CFPB by the Administration is Unconstitutional

41 nonprofit groups filed this amicus brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, arguing that the unilateral and unlawful dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by the Trump Administration is unconstitutional and will leave millions of Americans vulnerable to financial harm.

The brief urges the court to grant en banc review of NTEU v. Vought, a case that has enormous implications for the future of the consumer watchdog. It was filed by the Center for Consumer Law & Economic Justice at UC Berkeley, Tzedek DC, and Protect Borrowers and includes 38 state, local, and national organizations across the country that rely on the CFPB in their work to protect consumers.
