' #MilitaryLawyers were never meant to be #ImmigrationJudges. I warned this would politicize the courts and warp outcomes.' - his fears are coming true... 😓

The #Trump admin claims to have authorized the use of #MilitaryLawyers as temporary #judges in an effort to streamline the millions-long backlog of #immigration cases in the #courts.
However, that backlog has only gotten worse as immigration courts, which are housed within the #DOJ, have seen […]
Such limits would preclude much of the admin's effort to authorize up to 600 #MilitaryLawyers #JAG — what’s left of them after #Hegseth purged their ranks] to be temporary #ImmigrationJudges; as part of that move, the White House scrapped the requirement that temporary #immigration #judges must […]
#Democrats in Washington want to impose legal requirements on whom the #Trump admin can bring in as temporary #ImmigrationJudges, after the White House terminated at least a dozen tenured #judges.

😳 Decent article from #Bezos' #WaPo:
'One chilling answer: Trump/ #Hegseth gutted the #JAGs — judge advocate generals — who advise commanders on the #ruleoflaw, i.e. whether #presidentialorders are legal. Without these #militarylawyers commanders have no recourse other than to comply or resign."

'The #TrumpDefenestration 's decision to deploy #militarylawyers - #JAG - as #immigrationjudges is terrible and illegal, but when has that ever stopped Trump? ... this move is yet another step toward Trump’s imposition of #martiallaw.' l.smartnews.com/p-68JdZJNm/u... #kidnappings #deportations
And if #Trump went that route, there would be no turning back, according to Raquel Aldana, a law professor at the University of California, Davis: “The reality is that, once he does, the powers can be unlimited & we are in a #MilitaryState.”

The fmr JAGs gamed out several scenarios…, but they couldn’t imagine any in which it would be #legal for the #Pentagon to turn #MilitaryLawyers into #ImmigrationJudges, that is, unless #Congress were to pass a #law that allowed it, or #Trump invoked the #InsurrectionAct, which gives the […]
It’s “frightening,”VanLandingham said of the plan, because “the use of #military courts to hear #civilian cases is the essential component of #MartialLaw.”
“What you end up with,” Maurer added, “is military officers under #federal control who are running civilian courts.”

“This would be #unlawful,” added Rachel VanLandingham, a professor at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles who was an #AirForce #JAG.
In particular, VanLandingham said, turning #MilitaryLawyers into #ImmigrationJudges would likely violate the #PosseComitatusAct, a federal #law that bars US […]

💥 the #Pentagon #MilitaryLawyers --> Immigration Judges ❗
It’s also important to remember that shortly after taking office, #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth fired the top #JAG officers of the #Army & #AirForce. The position at the #Navy was already vacant. Hegseth has long expressed hostility toward #MilitaryLawyers.
He has called them “jagoffs,” & […]
The #DOJ may now designate “any lawyer” as a temporary immigration judge for 6 months — a period that can be renewed indefinitely. The #Trump admin claimed that the change promoted increased “flexibility,” while rejecting critics who raised doubts about whether it would increase the risk of […]
Not coincidentally, last Thursday, the #DOJ published a rule change on the website of the Federal Register relaxing criteria for who can serve as a temporary #immigration judge. It eliminated a requirement that such judges have substantial experience in #ImmigrationLaw, or that they must already […]
Unlike courts in the #judicial branch, where the Senate confirms #judges to life tenure to ensure their #independence, #immigration courts are part of the #ExecutiveBranch. They are run by the #DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (#EOIR). Still, while #ImmigrationJudges are department […]
