Judge blocks executive order targeting Jenner & Block law firm

Washington Examiner

Overview
U.S. District Judge John Bates permanently blocked President Trump's executive order against Jenner & Block, declaring it unconstitutional retaliation for the firm's legal work. Bates criticized the order for infringing on First Amendment rights and noted it targeted the firm due to its advocacy and past employment of a lawyer involved in the Mueller investigation. This ruling follows a similar decision against Perkins Coie, highlighting ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and law firms opposing its policies. Bates also pointed out that some firms preemptively negotiated with the administration to avoid sanctions.
