Senate Democrats oppose Pentagon's plan to use 600 military lawyers as immigration judges, citing legal and operational concerns.
Senate Democrats have raised concerns over a Pentagon plan, approved by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, to deploy up to 600 military lawyers as temporary immigration judges in the Justice Department.
The senators argue the move may violate the Posse Comitatus Act, which restricts military involvement in law enforcement except in extreme emergencies, and could undermine the military justice system, particularly the newly established Offices of Special Trial Counsel.
They question the legal basis for the plan and worry about diverting skilled personnel from their core military duties, calling it a misuse of service members for political immigration enforcement goals.
