NATIONAL TREASURY EMPLOYEES UNION, ET AL., APPELLEES V. RUSSELL T. VOUGHT, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU AND CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU, APPELLANTS

The plaintiffs brought two claims. First, the government’s “actions to eliminate” the Bureau “usurp legislative authority conferred upon Congress by the Constitution.” J.A. 44. Second, the “actions to suspend or terminate CFPB’s statutorily mandated activities—including by issuing stopwork instructions, cancelling contracts, declining and returning funding, firing employees, and terminating the lease for its headquarters—constitute final agency action” that is reviewable under the APA, unlawful, arbitrary, and in excess of the agency’s authority. Id. at 46–47.2
