华盛顿，5月27日（路透社）——美国消费者金融保护局这一顶级政府消费者权益监管机构周三表示，将于今年晚些时候将全美几乎所有员工重新调回其华盛顿总部，这是特朗普政府寻求削弱乃至彻底废除该机构的最新动作。
此次调遣将涉及约450名员工，他们目前分布在消费者金融保护局位于旧金山、亚特兰大、芝加哥和纽约的前区域办事处附近，同时该机构还将终止远程工作安排。此举可能会加速近期的员工离职潮。

唐纳德·特朗普政府已在法庭上抗争一年多，希望获得授权解雇该机构绝大多数员工，但迄今始终未能如愿。
消费者金融保护局的代表在周三晚间非工作时间收到的置评请求未立即作出回应。
包括特朗普在内的政府高级官员将2010年由国会设立的消费者金融保护局描述为对自由企业的政治性负担，而民主党人和该机构的捍卫者则称，废除该机构的举动是牺牲消费者利益向企业让利。
据邮件内容显示，目前在白宫附近的该局总部工作的员工，自7月起必须每周五天返回办公室办公。
邮件称，8月31日起，“工作地点距离总部超过50英里的员工、与前区域办事处相关的员工”以及所有外勤人员都需前往新总部报到。
路透社也看到的一份备忘录显示，消费者金融保护局将按照现行规定为“符合条件”的员工承担搬迁费用。
特朗普政府于今年2月终止了消费者金融保护局位于白宫附近黄金地段的总部大楼租约，目前该大楼部分空间被用作管理和预算办公室主任拉塞尔·沃特的办公场所，他同时兼任消费者金融保护局代理局长。
邮件指出，新办公地点位于华盛顿特区的另一个区域，公共交通通达性较差。
根据法庭记录，自去年政府呼吁废除消费者金融保护局并冻结该机构大部分活动以来，该局约1700名员工中已有三分之一离职。
目前政府正寻求法庭许可，解雇约一半剩余员工。

US consumer watchdog recalls all staff nationwide to Washington headquarters

WASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) – The top U.S. government watchdog for consumer financial protection on Wednesday said it would reassign virtually all staff nationwide to its Washington headquarters later this year, the latest move likely to weaken an agency the Trump administration is seeking to minimize if not eliminate.
The decision to relocate roughly 450 employees stationed near the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s former regional offices in San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago and New York and end remote work arrangements was likely to accelerate the recent pace of resignations.

President Donald Trump’s administration has been battling in court for more than a year for authorization to proceed with plans to dismiss the vast majority of the agency’s workforce but has so far been blocked.
Representatives for the CFPB did not immediately respond to requests for comment submitted outside normal business hours on Wednesday evening.
Top administration officials including Trump have described the CFPB, created by Congress in 2010, as a politicized burden on free enterprise, while Democrats and agency defenders have described efforts to eliminate it as a giveaway to corporations at the expense of consumers.
Staff currently assigned to the agency’s headquarters near the White House will be required to return to the office five days a week beginning in July, according to the email.
Beginning on August 31, “staff whose duty stations are greater than 50 miles from headquarters, staff associated with former regional offices” and all field employees will report to the new headquarters, the email said.
The CFPB will cover relocation costs for “eligible” staff members in accordance with current regulations, according to a memo also seen by Reuters.
The Trump administration in February canceled the lease on the CFPB’s prominently located Washington headquarters near the White House and now uses the building in part as office space for Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, who is also acting CFPB director.
The new office, according to the email, is in a separate quadrant of the capital less easily accessible by public transportation.
The CFPB has lost about a third of its roughly 1,700-person workforce since the administration last year called for its abolition and froze most agency activities, according to court records.
The administration is now seeking court permission to dismiss about half of all remaining workers.
