D.C. Circuit grants en banc rehearing in NTEU v. Vought, vacating panel ruling

The full D.C. Circuit granted the National Treasury Employees Union's petition for rehearing en banc, vacating the August 15, 2025 panel decision and reinstating the District Court's preliminary injunction against CFPB layoffs. The order set oral argument before all 11 active judges for February 24, 2026. The central question is whether the executive branch can effectively disable a congressionally created agency through workforce reductions.
