The U.S. Justice Department has dropped its legal bid to revive executive orders issued by the Trump administration that targeted four prominent law firms.
These orders sought to punish the firms for their past legal work, diversity policies, and political ties. Federal judges had previously struck down these orders, ruling they violated the firms' constitutional rights.
The decision to drop the appeals marks a significant retreat for the Trump administration, which had accused the firms of engaging in workplace discrimination and 'weaponizing' the justice system. The law firms involved, including Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, Perkins Coie, and Susman Godfrey, hailed the government's move as a victory for the rule of law and constitutional freedoms.
