Demonstrators hold signs as they protest outside the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on February 10, 2025 in Washington, DC, against US President Donald Trump and DOGE Elon Musk's anticipated plan to close CFPB. The Trump administration has informed staff at the US consumer protection agency that it is temporarily shuttering its headquarters and pausing all work. In the message to staff, Russell Vought, the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, said the CFPB's Washington office would be closed this week, and told employees not to show up.
