A San Francisco law firm stands against the Trump administration's actions targeting legal representatives of individuals the president opposes. Matthew Coles, a UC Law professor, highlights that these measures include enforcing federal building access restrictions and reviewing security clearances for attorneys. Such tactics are seen as a violation of First Amendment rights. Law firms involved are suing the administration for these intimidation methods. Keker, Van Nest & Peters LLP expresses resolve in facing these threats, affirming their commitment to legal representation regardless of political pressures.
"His reasons for doing this is, in every case that they have represented people he doesn't like. They have taken a stance in cases he doesn't like. The First Amendment gives people the right to disagree with the president and the right to use the legal system to express their opposition to the president."
"It is absolutely not legal. President Trump has issued a series of executive orders, in which he reports to tell law firms that have represented people who he doesn't like that their lawyers cant enter federal buildings, that they are going to review their security clearances, and they are going to review all the contracts they have with those law firms."
