A federal judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump acted illegally when he fired two Democratic members of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) board, Todd Harper and Tanya Otsuka.
The court ordered their immediate reinstatement, finding that the dismissals violated federal law. This decision restores the Democratic appointees to their regulatory roles overseeing the nation’s credit unions. The ruling has been praised by lawmakers who argued the firings were politically motivated and unlawful.
The case highlights ongoing legal battles over the limits of presidential authority in removing independent agency officials.
