In a scathing 73-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon struck down President Donald Trump‘s March 2025 executive order targeting WilmerHale, one of the nation’s largest law firms, calling the move “unconstitutional” and “unfaithful to the judgment and vision of the Founding Fathers.”
The decision delivers a strong rebuke to what the court framed as Trump’s misuse of executive power to punish perceived political enemies.
