DOJ Withdraws from Defending Trump's Law-Firm Targeting Orders
TL;DR Summary
The Justice Department said it will drop defending Trump-era executive orders that targeted several law firms, voluntarily dismissing appeals after federal judges ruled the measures unconstitutional and unenforceable; none of the orders took effect, but the DOJ had struck pro bono deals with other firms, and the move comes amid hundreds of related lawsuits—including challenges by the American Bar Association—against various aspects of Trump’s agenda.
