💨 Abstract

On May 23, 2025, a federal judge permanently blocked President Trump's executive order targeting the law firm Jenner & Block, deeming it unconstitutional retaliation. The order sought to punish the firm for its legal work opposing the White House. This ruling follows a similar decision against another firm, Perkins Coie. The judge criticized the order for attempting to curb legal representation the administration disliked, undermining the separation of powers.
