New President Donald Trump’s legal advisers expect the list of executive orders he unveils this Monday to be challenged in court, according to a source familiar with the legal strategy.
Trump’s team hopes opponents will follow a familiar playbook of challenging his policies in friendly lower court jurisdictions, which will tie up his policies in litigation for months.
But Trump’s team is coming to this early battle with a new strategy of more carefully crafting these orders to stand up in court.
Defending these policies will fall to Trump’s new Justice Department — they do not plan to rely on the department’s career lawyers to defend their policies in court.
They are prioritizing staffing the Justice Department’s civil division so they have their own people in place to take these policies to court.
They believe this new strategy means that even his list of what will be “extraordinary” immigration measures will have a much better chance of succeeding in the courts than his initial travel ban did during his first term.
THE CNN was informed that some of these executive orders may be suspended or blocked as early as Tuesday (21), when the litigation begins.
