Washington, D.C. (March 28, 2025)—Today, Ranking Member Jamie Raskin and House Assistant Minority Leader Joe Neguse, Leaders of the Litigation and Rapid Response Task Force, along with Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee Maxine Waters, issued the following statement after a federal judge blocked efforts to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB):

“House Democrats have taken our fight against Trump’s lawless and unconstitutional actions to the courts—and today we won. This is a major victory for American consumers and for those targeted by predatory lenders and bad actors. It’s a powerful example of the good of the people prevailing over the interests of the wealthy and well-connected. 

“We were proud to lead the charge with huge numbers of Democrats in the House on this matter, and we remain committed to ensuring that Trump and Musk are stopped whenever they trample the Constitution, the rule of law, and the rights of the people.”

More than 200 House Democrats got involved in the case in question, pushing back against attacks on CFPB and defending American consumers in court by filing an amicus brief in the matter of National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), et al. v. CFPB Acting Director Russell Vought, et al. Their argument was cited multiple times throughout the federal judge’s 112-page ruling issued Friday, March 28, 2025.
