Judge Orders CFPB Funding, Warren Praises Decision
A judge in Washington DC made a decision that the government must keep giving money to a group called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
This group helps people who have been treated unfairly by banks and big companies.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, who helped create the CFPB, is happy about this decision.
The person in charge of the CFPB, Russell Vought, had been trying to stop the funding.
The judge said that Vought's attempts were not following the law.
The CFPB has given back $21 billion to people who were cheated.
A group representing CFPB workers had sued to keep the funding.
A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration must seek funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Senator Elizabeth Warren praised the decision, calling it a rejection of attempts to defund the CFPB.
The CFPB has returned $21 billion to Americans cheated by big banks and corporations.
Russell Vought, acting director of the CFPB, had hoped to shut down the agency.
The ruling is part of a lawsuit brought by the National Treasury Employees Union.
