A new memo from President Donald Trump authorized the attorney general and the homeland security secretary to sanction law firms that file lawsuits they deem "frivolous" It follows executive orders against three law firms, including Covington & Burling , Perkins Coie and Paul Weiss .

A group of 22 civil rights organizations — including the NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union — condemned the new memo in a statement.

“I don’t think the gravity of this can be overstated,” added the lawyer, a former federal prosecutor. “Law firms like this are a check. And if no one is bringing things to the courts, nothing will be stopped.” This article was originally published on NBCNews.com .
