Aggressive Legal Changes in the Trump Administration

The new Trump administration is implementing a series of aggressive legal changes that are raising eyebrows among legal experts. Among these actions includes the firing of over a dozen prosecutors associated with ongoing investigations, as well as the suspension of civil rights litigation, particularly impacting police departments that came under scrutiny after the events surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement. Such dismissals and freezes are not entirely unprecedented during a transition, yet the scale and immediate nature of these actions suggest an unusual level of political maneuvering. This environment has created ongoing confusion regarding what constitutes legally acceptable actions by the administration versus those that may cross normative thresholds.
