(Reuters) -A judge in Washington temporarily blocked U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order against law firm Jenner & Block on Friday, even as another firm, Skadden Arps, reached a deal with the president to avoid being hit with a similar order.

U.S. District Judge John Bates at a hearing called Trump's order against Jenner "reprehensible" and said it appeared to bar lawyers at the firm from entering courthouses, which are managed by the executive branch.
