This month, more than 200 civil rights groups, legal advocacy organizations, and human rights defenders across the country - including the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law - came together to issue a joint statement denouncing President Trump’s memorandum, Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court.


The statement warns that these actions represent a grave threat to a fundamental pillar of democracy: the right to seek justice through an independent legal system. The signatories emphasize that the administration's efforts are designed to chill zealous legal advocacy, silence dissent, and erode protections for underserved and targeted communities, including immigrants and human rights activists.


“The ramifications of targeting attorneys doing their jobs would be dire, depriving the most vulnerable individuals of their right to counsel and disrupting our collective ability to challenge government overreach. Democracy cannot exist when access to justice is curtailed.”
