This is creating quite a bit of apoplexy on the Left
Pentagon plans for 600 military lawyers to backfill immigration judges
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has tasked the branches of the armed services with finding up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges in response to a request for assistance from the Department of Homeland Security, two people familiar with the request told The Washington Post.
The Pentagon is looking to identify military lawyers, known as judge advocates general, or JAGs, across active-duty services, the National Guard and the reserves to step in as judges to support immigration or law enforcement court proceedings. The Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration is already filling some court dockets, and both the military and the Department of Homeland Security are looking for ways to support expanded operations in Chicago and other major American cities.
“At the request of the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense is identifying qualified Judge Advocates and civilian attorneys for details to serve as Temporary Immigration Judges. These DOD attorneys will augment existing resources to help further combat a backlog of cases by presiding over immigration hearings,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement.
But the use of military lawyers has raised concern, another person familiar with the planning said — speaking like the others on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation — that those officers may not have experience with immigration court proceedings or may receive insufficient training for complicated and potentially life-altering deportation hearings.
I mean, it’s super easy
“Did you enter the United States without permission? Yes? You’re being repatriated”
What else needs to be said? It matters not what they think of their home country. They can claim it is dangerous, but, these same illegals are making it dangerous in the U.S. If they do not want to got home, they can pick a flight elsewhere. As long as they go.
The Trump admin could probably find a whole bunch of retired judges who vote Republican to help out.
Anne Frank and her family saught asylum in the Netherlands from the fascists. She was discovered and legally arrested under laws passed by by an uber rightwing democratically elected government the entire family was deported to camps. Only 1 survived
So Johnny-hairy-smith, what’s your point? When the US military opens gas chambers and allows typhus to run wild, give us a call….
It’s already been mentioned here, that the left are trying to use due process to clog the immigration courts, to shield as many illegals as possible from deportation, before President Trump’s term ends. Now the Administration is going to unclog the courts as much as possible by providing more immigration judges, so naturally Messrs smith² and Dowd will wax apoplectic: how dare the evil President Trump try to expedite due process!
We applaud, with Mr Dana, the availability of additional resources to rid America of dangerous individuals!
IF this leads to fewer “erroneous” deportations we will all agree this is a good thing.
Mr trump and his supporters claim there are 11 to 30 million (or more) “illegal” immigrants that we need to deport. This administration and their supporters have made clear they desire to rapidly sweep up all “suspected illegals” – children, women and men – and toss them out of America, ignoring that these people have rights.
We are a nation of laws.
Got anything new, Rimjob?
Your hypocritical sanctimoniousness is repetitive and quite boring.
