Case Overview
The National Treasury Employees Union, represented by Public Citizen, sued acting CFPB Director Russ Vought over his stop work order for CFPB employees and actions to dismantle CFPB.

The Application
Vought's stop work order and dismantling actions allegedly exceed presidential removal authority by attempting to unilaterally shut down agency operations without congressional involvement or statutory authorization. The plaintiffs contend these actions violate both constitutional separation of powers principles and Dodd-Frank's statutory safeguards.
The Conclusion
The case is active before Judge Amy Berman Jackson, with plaintiffs seeking preliminary injunction relief to halt further dismantling efforts. Resolution will likely depend on judicial recognition of the CFPB's quasi-independent status and the scope of presidential control over such agencies.
