Two large law firms that were attacked by the Trump administration on Tuesday filed for court documents seeking to permanently block executive decrees that threaten their companies and their ability to represent customers in matters of things involving the federal government.
Companies, Jenner & Block and Wilmerhale, filed the documents before the Washington Federal Court just over a week after the judges approved temporary ban prescriptions against most of the decrees.
In her file, Jenner & Block said that the executive decree was “a simple violation of the first amendment” and that it punished the company to represent customers that President Trump did not like.
The executive orders signed by Mr. Trump treat law firms as national security risks. They would make almost impossible for companies to represent companies with government contracts or who need regulatory approvals, and would prevent lawyers from penetrating even in federal buildings – including courthouses.
The deposits of Jenner & Block and Wilmerhale are summary judgment of judgment, which means that companies ask the judges who president to decide, without trials, if the orders are constitutional and enforceable.
The Trump administration focused on the companies involved in the Trump surveys and its first administration or that use lawyers who criticized the president.
