The newly installed head of the Office of Financial Protection of the President Donald Trump on Monday told the agency staff that is kept away from the office and does not work, according to an email reviewed by Reuters.

The measure, which followed a weekend decision to close the agency headquarters in Washington, identified a federal agency of almost 2,000 workers in charge of enforcing consumer financial laws throughout the country.

“Employees should not enter the office. Do not perform any work task, ”said CFPB’s interim director Russell Vought, in an email to all staff.

The measure stressed the tumult in the federal regulator since Vought, a budgetary and architect of the right -wing policy manifesto known as Project 2025, which required the abolition of the CFPB, took control of the agency on Friday.

The Trump administration efforts to neutralize the agency intensified rapidly during the weekend when the Government Efficiency Department Elon Musk obtained total access to CFPB and VOUCHT computer systems ordered a stop for all the supervision of financial companies of consumers.

Musk has publicly promised to destroy the CFPB. The agency could regulate one of its commercial companies planned with giant paying visa.

Confrontations with staff, Democratic legislators and progressive organizations will continue on Monday, with a manifestation planned outside the agency’s headquarters near the White House.

Meanwhile, in a federal lawsuit filed on Sunday, the National Union of Treasury Employees, which represents CFPB staff, argued that Vought’s actions violated the Constitution by reducing the power of Congress to establish and finance the agency’s missions .

Elizabeth Warren, the main Democrat of the Senate Banking Committee who proposed and helped launch the agency, in a video statement published on Monday that was “calling the alarm.”

She said Trump-Musk’s effort to kill CFPB was a “reward” to campaign donors who wanted to get rid of government supervision.
