A federal judge reinstated two Democratic appointees to the National Credit Union Administration after President Trump fired them.
U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, ruled on Tuesday that Trump unlawfully removed Todd Harper and Tanya Otsuka in April, the two Democrats on NCUA’s board.
He noted that “the government concedes the President lacked any cause for the terminations,” and instead argues “that the President maintains absolute authority to remove NCUA Board members at will, and that reinstatement is not an available remedy.”
Ali added that “the government all but concedes” its argument “would apply equally to the Chair of the Federal Reserve and FDIC Board members,” which he said he found “unavailing.”
