U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting Perkins Coie law firm.
- Judge Howell ruled that the order violated free speech and due process.
- This ruling marks the first judicial decision on executive actions against lawyers linked to Trump’s political adversaries.
- The Department of Justice can appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
In 2016, Perkins Coie aided in creating the Steele dossier, fueling alleged Trump-Russia collusion claims, ultimately disproven.
The order also criticized their diversity initiatives as racially discriminatory.
