It also reinstates the agency&#8217;s contracts, workforce, data and operational capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson ruled that, without a court order, President Trump&#8217;s administration would move quickly to shut down the agency that Congress created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the defendants are not enjoined, they will eliminate the agency before the Court has the opportunity to decide whether the law permits them to do it, and as the defendants&#8217; own witness warned, the harm will be irreparable,&#8221; Berman Jackson said in her order.<\/p>\n<p>During a March 10 hearing, Jackson heard testimony about the chaos that erupted inside the agency after <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/consumer-financial-protection-bureau-stop-work-russ-vought\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">government employees were ordered to stop working<\/a><\/span> last month. The bureau&#8217;s chief operating officer, Adam Martinez, said the agency was in &#8220;wind-down mode&#8221; after Trump fired its previous director, Rohit Chopra, on Feb. 1.<\/p>\n<p>Trump installed a temporary replacement who ordered the immediate suspension of all agency operations, cancelled $100 million in contracts and fired 70 employees.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez said the agency&#8217;s current leaders have adopted a more methodical approach than they initially did last month, when representatives of Elon Musk&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency arrived at its Washington headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>CFPB is responsible for protecting consumers from financial fraud and deceptive practices. It processes consumer complaints and examines banks to protect student loan borrowers.<\/p>\n<p>The National Treasury Employees Union, which represents more than 1,000 workers at the bureau, sued on Feb. 9 to block mass firings. Plaintiffs&#8217; attorneys argue that the administration doesn&#8217;t have the constitutional authority to eliminate an agency that Congress created by statute.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The defendants&#8217; unlawful action will have immediate consequences for the Americans that the CFPB was designed by Congress to protect,&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.277287\/gov.uscourts.dcd.277287.14.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the lawyers wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Government lawyers have said the plaintiffs are seeking to impermissibly place the CFPB in a &#8220;judicially managed receivership,&#8221; with the court overseeing its day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson started her 112-page ruling by quoting Mr. Trump and his allies&#8217; own words about the bureau. Trump&#8217;s billionaire adviser, Elon Musk, posted &#8220;CFPB RIP&#8221; on X, his social media platform, and added an emoji of a tombstone. White House budget director Russell Vought said it has been &#8220;a woke and weaponized agency against disfavored industries and individuals for a long time.&#8221; Mr. Trump called it &#8220;a very important thing to get rid of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among the plaintiffs was 83-year-old Eva Steege, a Lutheran pastor in hospice care who had been working with CFPB to resolve her student loan debt before her death. The agency found she qualified for loan forgiveness and a $15,000 refund of overpayments, but the stop-work order went into effect before she could have a follow-up meeting and the official she was working with was fired.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Steege&#8217;s fear of leaving her surviving family members saddled with her student loan debt came to pass on March 15, when she died,&#8221; the judge wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS
