Saying that the CFPB’s consideration of returning funds to the Federal Reserve is not a sign that the Trump Administration intends to abolish the bureau, a federal judge has refused to issue a preliminary injunction stopping those transfers.

“For the Court to intervene and entangle itself in the Bureau’s administrative processes before the agency has made any final decision about the disposition of its operating and reserve funds — and without clear indication that an unlawful and injurious decision will be made imminently — would exceed the bounds of the Court’s proper role and jurisdiction,” Judge Matthew Maddox, of the District of Maryland, wrote.

Baltimore’s City Council and Mayor have filed suit against the CFPB contending that they and several other plaintiffs would be harmed if the bureau were abolished by the Trump Administration. And they cited contemplated money transfers as signs that was the Trump Administration’s intentions.

However, Maddox wrote, “In sum, the Court finds that recent operational decisions made at the CFPB, viewed in combination with other evidence, do not sustain Plaintiffs’ unsupported claim that Defendants made a final decision or attempt to defund the Bureau.”

Maddox wrote that Acting CFPB Director Russell Vought “determined that the funds currently available to the Bureau were sufficient to carry out its statutory mandate for the next fiscal quarter and that no additional funds were necessary for this.”

The judge wrote that the plaintiffs had not demonstrated that a final decision to transfer the operating and reserve funds had been made or that the agency would lack the funds it needs to fulfill its statutory responsibilities.

He said that to the contrary, two CFPB officials said that the bureau’s leadership is attempting to increase efficiency and that deciding to reduce funding at the agency is not evidence of its demise.

“Even assuming that the President’s statements reflect a plan by the Trump administration to dissolve the Bureau, the Court cannot assume from these statements that the administration intends to dissolve it by defunding it out of operation,” Maddox wrote.

Meanwhile in Washington, D.C, in a suit filed by the National Treasury Employees Union—the union representing CFPB employees—U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson is considering whether to issue an order stopping the Trump Administration from taking any action to dismantle the CFPB.

In the suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the plaintiffs ask the court to order the CFPB to resume all activities they said the bureau is required to perform under federal law, asserting a violation of the Administrative Procedure Act and a non-statutory right to seek to enjoin and have declared unlawful agency action that is ultra vires (beyond the agency’s legal power or authority). An evidentiary hearing in that case was held last week.
