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 legal protections for independent regulatory agency officials. This decision underscores the limits of presidential power over independent agencies and affirms the importance of due process in such removals. The ruling has been welcomed by Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, who called the firings unlawful.
The case highlights ongoing tensions over the independence of federal regulatory bodies.
