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 underscores limits on presidential power to remove members of certain federal agencies. This ruling is seen as a significant win for regulatory independence and could set a precedent for similar cases.
The reinstated officials are expected to resume their roles overseeing the nation’s credit unions.
