Summary

The Farm Credit Administration can ask a U.S. district court or a territorial U.S. court that covers the area where the institution’s main office is located to enforce a temporary cease-and-desist order. If the court finds the institution broke the order, threatened to break it, or did not follow it, the court must issue an injunction (a court order) to make the order be obeyed.
