Since taking office, the Trump administration has significantly curtailed the CFPB’s rulemaking and enforcement activity. Recently, Congress and federal courts have been grappling with what that means for CFPB employees and the rules the CFPB has enacted and enforces. On April 9, 2025, the United States House of Representatives voted to pass a joint resolution disapproving a CFPB rule that would make certain large payment companies subject to Regulations E and Z. The same day, the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard oral arguments to resolve a TRO that would maintain the existence of the CFPB as it stood before the administration change. What does this mean for you and your clients? 

On February 6, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order (EO) 14203, “Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court,” blocking the property of the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) Chief Prosecutor and providing authority to designate any foreign persons that the Secretary of State (in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General) determines to have directly engaged in certain specified acts.
