U.S. law firm Susman Godfrey is seeking a permanent injunction against President Donald Trump’s executive order, claiming it is retaliatory and violates their constitutional rights. The firm will present its case before U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan in Washington. This legal battle is part of a larger conflict between the Trump administration and major law firms connected to his political opponents. Despite previous setbacks for Trump’s orders targeting law firms, the Justice Department continues to defend them as lawful exercises of presidential authority. A number of law firms have settled with the White House to avoid similar actions, with some offering free legal services and making concessions. Judge AliKhan has expressed concerns about firms capitulating to the administration’s demands.
