A federal judge suspended the mass layoffs held on Thursday afternoon at the financial protection office of US consumers on Thursday afternoon, stating that it is deeply concerned that the Trump government has violated the orders of the court that have established conditions for layoffs.
The agency fired between 1,400 and 1,500 employees Thursday, eliminating up to 90% of its workforce.
A declaration of witness submitted on Friday morning also accused Senior employees and an administration official associated with the Department of Efficiency of the Government of the billionaire Elon Musk not compared to the orders of the court.
The witness stated that a doge member also asked the team to work in a round without a round of 36 hours and verbally abused employees.
Last week, a appeal court established that mass layoffs could only occur after a “specific evaluation”.
Mark Paoletta, Legal Director of the Office, said in a sworn declaration that the Agency had followed the orders of the Court and a detailed evaluation of the needs of the staff. This evaluation found that the agency’s funds significantly exceeded their needs and legal authorities, he said.
The White House and the Office did not immediately respond to requests for comments.
President Donald Trump and Musk asked the Agency to abolish the agency, accusing it, without providing tests of politicized inspection and waste, but government officials have declared in court that the office will persist in some way.
“I am deeply worried, given the scope and speed of the agency’s action … about if the agency is now in accordance with the injunction,” said the judge of the American district Amy Berman Jackson during an audience summoned after the layoffs of Thursday.
Jackson ordered that the mass layoffs of Thursday were suspended pending a decision on the fact that the government is violating its order. He said that the office staff will not lose access to computer systems on Friday evening, since the example of the agency had told them in the dismissal notices.
