The Application
The government appealed the preliminary injunction that blocked CFPB dismantling and RIF orders, arguing presidential authority over executive agencies. The union and CFPB officials argued the injunction was properly granted because the CFPB's statutory structure and removal restrictions on the Director create likelihood of success on the merits and risk of irreparable harm to the agency's statutory independence.
The Conclusion
The DC Circuit decided the appeal, determining whether the preliminary injunction blocking the administration's CFPB restructuring was legally proper pending resolution of the underlying separation of powers disputes.
