'No, the President Cannot Enforce the Law-Firm Deals'

"As part of well-publicized 'deals,' nine internationally famous law firms have committed nearly $1 billion in pro bono legal services to carry out the Trump Administration’s goals.

What law governs? Who exactly are the parties: Did firms contract with President Donald Trump personally? With the U.S. Government? Or with government agencies like the EEOC?"
