The law firm Jenner & Block has launched legal action against the U.S. government. This comes after an executive order from President Trump suspended security clearances for the firm's lawyers and limited their access to government facilities and contracts.

The firm filed the lawsuit in Washington, D.C.'s federal court; however, details of the complaint remain undisclosed. This marks the second instance where a major law firm has challenged the Trump administration's executive orders focusing on legal entities.

Previously, a federal judge halted parts of another executive order aimed at Perkins Coie, signaling potential constitutional violations. Perkins Coie is reportedly losing clients due to these restrictions imposed by the administration.
