flag The Trump administration is hiring military lawyers as temporary immigration judges to cut a 3.4 million-case backlog, sparking concerns over their lack of legal expertise.

flag The Trump administration is recruiting Army Reserve and National Guard lawyers as temporary immigration judges after dismissing dozens of existing judges, aiming to reduce a backlog of over 3.4 million immigration cases. flag Around 100 military attorneys are expected to begin nearly six-month assignments after training, with up to 600 potentially deployed. flag The initiative is part of a broader immigration enforcement push, including border patrols and military use for deportations. flag Critics warn the recruits lack specialized experience in immigration or administrative law, raising concerns about fair and consistent rulings. flag The move follows a new law that caps permanent immigration judge positions at 800 and allocates $170 billion for enforcement, despite ongoing concerns about judicial integrity and readiness.
