U.S. law firm Susman Godfrey defeats Trump executive order

Last Friday, U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan permanently blocked President Trump’s executive order targeting Susman Godfrey, citing grave constitutional violations.
The April 9 executive order, issued by President Donald Trump, aimed to retaliate against Susman Godfrey for defending election integrity and promoting racial diversity, violating constitutional rights.
AliKhan's ruling found the order violated the Constitution, citing 'grave violations' and bipartisan judge rebukes over security clearance suspensions and access restrictions.
Following this block, all federal officials are permanently enjoined from enforcing the order, with the Trump administration having 90 days to appeal, marking the fourth court victory against similar orders.
Beyond Susman Godfrey, all four challenged firms prevailed in court, with nine prominent law firms settling to protect the independence of the bar from retaliatory orders.
