A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Friday quickly reversed a surprise wave of mass firings carried out at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) the day before.

In a bench ruling and subsequent minute order, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, a Barack Obama appointee, expressed doubts the government had complied with a preliminary injunction entered by the court last month and largely upheld on appeal last week.

In the underlying case, the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) alleges the Trump administration — specifically Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought — unlawfully fired CFPB employees without cause and scrubbed CFPB data from its records, including important CFPB contracts that are “necessary for cybersecurity.”

On Thursday afternoon, the government sent a reduction-in-force (RIF) memorandum to between 1,400 and 1,500 employees, eliminating roughly 90% of the agency’s workforce.
