US EditionUS judge strikes down Trump order against law firm Jenner & Block
- In 2025, a federal judge in Washington, DC, invalidated an executive order issued by President Trump that targeted the law firm Jenner & Block.
- The order directed federal agencies to end contracts, limit official access, and suspend Jenner & Block attorneys' security clearances as retaliation.
- Judge Bates ruled the order violated the First Amendment by chilling legal representation and insulating the Executive Branch from judicial oversight.
- Bates concluded the order is "unconstitutional under any view of the First Amendment" and enjoined its full operation, reversing all its provisions.
- This ruling marks the second recent judicial block on Trump's actions against top law firms, while other related cases remain pending.
