US President Donald Trump has ordered Attorney General Palm Bondi to review the actions of lawyers and law firms, which his administration believes that an illegal case has been filed or tried to stop immigration policies.
For the first time in Friday night’s memo, CNN was reported, accusing some legal professionals of engaging in “irrational, irrational and ridiculous lawsuit” against the government. This directive has been requested by Bondi to review the cases filed in the last eight years and recommend possible measures against lawyers, which have been found to have done wrong. This may include canceling security clearance, canceling federal agreements, or other penalties.
The ambiguous language of the memo does not specify which specific measures will guarantee punishment. However, it has clearly demanded corruption complaints against lawyers working on immigration cases.
Trump has long expressed disappointment over his policies, especially legal opposition to immigration. Their administration has faced numerous legal challenges over travel ban, asylum sanctions and border enforcement measures. The latest move has been seen as an attempt to stop further legalization.
“Many lawyers and legal firms have long neglected these needs while taking legal attacks against the federal government or following baseless attacks against the federal government,” Trump said in a presidential memorandum released by the White House on Saturday.
During a Friday Oval Office meeting, President Trump answered questions about his actions about law firms. “They have followed me for years brutally, violent, illegally. They are not children. They are very sophisticated people. They did bad things. They followed me for years.”
The White House defended the decision in a post on X, saying, “In whatever we do, we restore the law, restore order, and restore public protection in the United States … and to bring honor, integrity and accountability back to an advanced government.”
It seems that Trump’s actions against the legal community have led to at least a major legal firm this week. According to the New York Post, Paul Weiss, a prominent law firm, known as Democratic Customers, agreed to provide $ 40 million legal services to the Trump administration. The decision was made to ignore an executive order, preventing the firm from representing the federal government.
