Judge Blocks Trump From Shrinking Institute of Museum and Library Services and Targets Law Firms Perkins Coie, Susman Godfrey

A federal judge, John J. McConnell Jr., has issued a temporary injunction blocking the Trump administration from significantly reducing the size of three federal agencies. These agencies include the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which provides funding to libraries and museums nationwide, as well as agencies responsible for settling labor disputes with public sector workers and supporting state business contracting programs. The ruling halts President Donald Trump's efforts to dismantle these agencies. Additionally, the administration's executive orders targeting law firms such as Perkins Coie and Susman Godfrey have faced legal challenges, with courts striking down punitive measures against these firms. Meanwhile, New York's oldest law firm, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, reached a deal with the Trump administration to avoid punitive actions, though this has led to an exodus of lawyers and uncertainty about the firm's future.
