A multistate coalition co-led by New Jersey won a federal court order rejecting the Trump Administration’s decision not to request funding for the CFPB. The order struck down that decision and directed the Administration to follow the law and fund the agency; no monetary penalty or privacy violation is described.
The court rejected the Administration’s interpretation of the CFPB funding law, struck down its decision not to request funding, and ordered it to comply with the law.
This action does not address company conduct or privacy contracts, so it does not identify a specific clause deficiency. In vendor and customer agreements involving financial products or services, review regulatory-compliance and change-in-law clauses for obligations to comply with CFPB rules, cooperate with investigations, preserve and provide complaint or lending data, and support consumer refunds or restitution. Ensure vendor data-processing and reporting terms preserve access to records needed for regulatory inquiries; employee agreements are not specifically implicated.

"The Trump Administration was unlawfully refusing to request any funding from the Federal Reserve for this agency based on Acting Director Russell T. Vought’s unprecedented interpretation of the agency’s funding law."
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and the attorneys general of New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington sued to block the federal government from conditioning Medicaid funding on states implementing new work requirements. The lawsuit argues that threatening to withhold all Medicaid funding is unconstitutional coercion; the press release describes requested relief, not a court ruling or penalty.
Virginia’s Attorney General joined a multistate lawsuit challenging a federal Medicaid rule that made it harder for medically vulnerable people to qualify for exemptions from work requirements. The court found the definition of medical frailty unlawful, vacated that language, and issued a permanent injunction; the release does not state the court decision’s date, so the release date is used as a proxy.
A federal judge permanently blocked the Trump administration from penalizing states over SNAP administration and struck down guidance restricting food assistance for certain lawful permanent residents. The release does not state the date of the court’s ruling, so the event date uses the publication date as a proxy.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison joined a coalition of 20 attorneys general in suing the Trump administration over new federal contract terms intended to purge DEI. The lawsuit alleges the agencies violated the Administrative Procedure Act by failing to provide public notice or accept comments, exceeding legal authority, and imposing vague requirements that threaten severe penalties on contractors.
A coalition of 24 states led by Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones won a lawsuit against the Trump Administration, invalidating illegal tariffs imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled the tariffs were unauthorized by law, as a trade deficit does not constitute the required 'large and serious balance-of-payment deficits' under the statute. The ruling prevents the administration from enforcing the 10% worldwide tariffs on most products.
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield led a 24-state coalition in a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s tariffs imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. The U.S. Court of International Trade granted summary judgment to the states, ruling the tariffs illegal as they did not meet the statutory requirement of “large and serious balance-of-payment deficits.” The court invalidated the 10 percent tariffs on most global products, barring their enforcement.
