Trump administration approves 600 military lawyers as immigration judges
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has authorized the deployment of up to 600 military lawyers to the Justice Department to serve as temporary immigration judges, according to an Aug. 27 memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The plan calls for sending groups of 150 attorneys, both military and civilian, with the first round expected to be identified by next week and deployed "as soon as practicable," the memo said.

Because military lawyers are 💯% versed in immigration law, and familiar with all appropriate judgement tools for smooth and humane outcomes.
Nah doesn’t surprise me either. What I do think is odd is the ease with which the Army lets itself operate as Donnie’s personal mercenary force, I understood from what I see and read that it is a rather independent institution, full of honour, aware of their role as a pillar of American democracy yadda yadda….
He fired the top brass that would have stood up to him
At the end of the day, the army has to take orders from the president. It doesn't quite make sense to me how he has legal authority, but I think he does. Granted this is not their specialty at all. Their specialty is more to do with wartime law and jurisdictions. I want to find some bitching and complaining that army personnel are certainly going to do. That's probably where we can find the best answers. I think the biggest advantage of using these prosecutors is that they cannot resign from their positions, and so they might do soul-crushing work for the same amount of pay
