CFPB Union @nteu335.bsky.social · 29/08/2025
Vought has until Sept 30 to access $329 Million in authorized CFPB funding, which would return nearly $1 Billion to ripped off Americans. All he has to do is ask the Federal Reserve for the money. So we drafted the funding request letter for him: nteu335.org/2025/08/25/v... #StopVought #SaveCFPB
a letter on official CFPB letterhead dated August 27, 2025 is addressed to:
"The Honorable Jerome Powell
Chair, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 20th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20551"

The letter says:
"RE: Funds Transfer Request, FY 2025 Quarter 4

Dear Chair Powell,
Section 1017(a)(1) of the Consumer Financial Protection Act ("Act") requires the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Board") to transfer to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection "Bureau") each quarter the amount determined by the Director to be reasonably necessary to carry out the authorities of the Bureau under Federal consumer financial law and the Act.

Changed my mind since my last letter. I have determined that $329,100,000 is the amount necessary to carry out the authorities of the Bureau for FY 2025 Q4, and I request that the Board transfer this amount to the Bureau as soon as practicable, by September 30, 2025. Although I have not published the Bureau's FY 2025 budget, this report describing my budget priorities is publicly available [this links to a new article about Vought's recent procurement of a $5 million personal bodyguard using CFPB funding).

Please deposit the funds in the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Fund established at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("Bureau Fund"), as soon as possible after receipt of this letter.

Disbursement instructions to transfer funding from the Bureau Fund into the Treasury General Account
(ABA number 021030004 for credit to ALC number 9585000) will be made separately, as will investment direction.
Sincerely,
Russell T. Vought, Acting Director"

The Trump regime killed a Canadian in custody in Miami, Florida. His name was Johnny Noviello. ICE claims they "found him unresponsive" . He was a legal permanent resident since 1991. Canada said it was “aware of the death” and is investigating. #StopICE
Noviello, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. since Oct. 1991 who first entered the country with a legal visa three years prior, was convicted in 2023 of drug trafficking and racketeering in Volusia County, Florida, according to ICE. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
Last month, ICE arrested Noviello at the Florida Department of Corrections Probation office. He was "charged with removability," ICE said, due to his past conviction.
In its press release, ICE maintained that "comprehensive medical care is provided from the moment individuals arrive and throughout the entirety of their stay."
"All people in ICE custody receive medical, dental and mental health intake screening within 12 hours of arriving at each detention facility, a full health assessment within 14 days of entering ICE custody or arrival at a facility, access to medical appointments and 24-hour emergency care," the statement continued. "At no time during detention is a detained illegal alien denied emergent care."Noviello, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. since Oct. 1991 who first entered the country with a legal visa three years prior, was convicted in 2023 of drug trafficking and racketeering in Volusia County, Florida, according to ICE.
