Trump administration’s effort to reshape Federal Trade Commission blocked by DC judge

Trump administration’s effort to reshape Federal Trade Commission blocked by DC judge

A Washington, D.C.-based federal judge on Thursday ruled against the Trump administration over the firing of Federal Trade Commission (FTC) member Rebecca Slaughter.

Slaughter, who was appointed to the independent board in 2021, was axed along with fellow member Alvaro Bedoya in March. The pair represented the Democratic minority in the five-member commission. 

Following the firings, both Bedoya and Slaughter released public statements announcing their intention to file lawsuits, claiming their firings were without cause.

U.S. District Court Judge Loren Alikhan noted that when the FTC was created more than a century ago, it was designed to be an independent, multi-member body of experts committed to the regulation of economic competition.

To prevent political interference to its mission, Congress required that commissioners only be removed for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.” 

“Because the law on the removal of FTC Commissioners is clear, and for the reasons explained below, the court will grant Ms. Slaughter’s motion for summary judgment and deny Defendants’ cross-motion for summary judgment,” Alikhan wrote in the ruling.

Bedoya, who was appointed to the board by former President Joe Biden in 2022, also filed suit—but the case was dismissed without prejudice.

The U.S. Supreme Court has one remaining emergency application related to a Trump executive action, but it involves the removal of three members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Three CPSC members—Mary Boyle, Alexander Hoehn-Saric and Richard Trumka Jr.—filed suit against the Trump administration, challenging their removal from their statutorily protected roles.
