'Loving' Maga Jezus' Continuing Assault on Consumers
US consumer watchdog recalls all staff nationwide to Washington headquarters -ReutersWASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) - The top U.S. government watchdog for consumer financial protection on Wednesday said it would reassign virtually all staff nationwide to its Washington headquarters later this year, the latest move likely to weaken an agency the Trump administration is seeking to minimize if not eliminate.
The decision to relocate roughly 450 employees stationed near the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's former regional offices in San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago and New York and end remote work arrangements was likely to accelerate the recent pace of resignations.
The CFPB has lost about a third of its roughly 1,700-person workforce since the administration last year called for its abolition and froze most agency activities, according to court records.
The administration is now seeking court permission to dismiss about half of all remaining workers.
