  Paul Weiss lost a client days after the executive order, then Trump said it made a deal with the president.

In a recent executive order, former President Donald Trump has targeted the law firm Paul Weiss, aiming to bar it from federal government contracts due to its provision of pro bono legal services to undocumented immigrants. The order, which reflects Trump's ongoing efforts to crack down on immigration, specifically criticizes Paul Weiss for its involvement in cases that challenge the administration's immigration policies. This move has sparked significant controversy, with critics arguing that it represents an overreach of executive power and an attempt to punish legal firms for fulfilling their ethical obligations to provide pro bono services. The order is seen as part of a broader strategy to deter legal challenges to immigration policies by targeting the resources of law firms engaged in such work.
