Federal appeals court judges in Washington are deliberating on the Trump administration's efforts to significantly downsizing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) amid a legal battle initiated by a workers' union. The judges are evaluating the government's appeal against a lower court ruling that temporarily blocked the firing of most CFPB employees. Critics, including Democrats, have accused the administration of attempting to undermine the agency created to protect consumers from predatory lending, while the administration defends its actions as lawful policy changes.
