A U.S. federal judge ruled on Thursday that President Donald Trump’s dismissal of Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter earlier this year was unlawful.
District Judge Loren AliKhan stated that the Trump administration’s effort to remove Slaughter violated legal protections that limit the president’s ability to dismiss FTC commissioners.
The White House and FTC have not yet commented on the ruling.
AliKhan wrote that since those legal safeguards remain valid and constitutional, Slaughter’s removal had no legal standing. She added that the administration appeared to want the FTC to act as a fully obedient agency under presidential control, which contradicts the independent structure Congress intended.
