A federal judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump acted unlawfully 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 legal protections for independent regulatory agency officials. The decision marks a significant check on presidential authority over independent agencies. The ruling has been praised by Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, as a victory for the rule of law and regulatory independence.
This case could have broader implications for how presidents interact with independent federal agencies.
