Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

On December 22, 2025, a coalition of attorneys general filed a lawsuit in Oregon against the Trump administration to stop the complete defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which has returned more than $21 billion improperly taken from over 205 million Americans throughout its 14-year existence. We argue that that CFPB has a legal requirement to collect and process consumer complaints and share that complaint data with states, and that Director Vought’s actions violate the law and the Constitution.
