Law firm Jenner & Block sues over Trump executive order, becoming second firm to do so

Jenner & Block and WilmerHale are suing the Trump administration over executive orders that allegedly target them for their representation of clients and pro bono work, claiming violations of the First and Fifth Amendments.
The lawsuits filed in federal district court in Washington, D.C., state that the orders hinder their ability to practice law and undermine client-attorney relationships.
Trump's executive orders restrict both firms' access to federal buildings and security clearances, with Jenner seeking Judge Beryl Howell to hear the case.
Jenner's spokesman described the executive order as an unlawful attack on the legal system, emphasizing the firm’s commitment to advocating for clients against governmental coercion.
