This is a tyrant. He is clearly at least attempting a chilling effect on legal action against his administration's actions of questionable legality. That and practicing exactly the kind of retaliatory lawfare he railed against in the past.

Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump’s executive order targeting Jenner & Block

A federal judge temporarily blocked Donald Trump's executive order against the law firm Jenner & Block, stating it likely violates multiple amendments, including the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments.
Jenner & Block argued that Trump's order was unconstitutional and aimed at intimidating lawyers who oppose the administration.
The judge found that Trump's order likely violates the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, noting the potential chilling effect on the legal profession's duties.
Legal expert Adam Klasfeld reported that the judge described Trump's executive order as 'disturbing' and 'troubling,' especially regarding its attack on pro bono practice.
