Defense Dept. to send up to 600 military attorneys to serve as temporary immigration judges

Washington — The Defense Department is considering authorizing up to 600 military attorneysto serve as temporary immigration judges, a defense official confirmed.

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement that at the request of the Justice Department, the Defense Department is in the process of "identifying qualified Judge Advocates and civilian attorneys for details to serve as Temporary Immigration Judges."

Parnell said the Defense Department attorneys would help with the backlog of cases"by presiding over immigration hearings." The Associated Press first reported the Pentagon's plans.

The immigration courts are struggling witha backlog of more than 3.4 million cases. But the plan to turn possibly hundreds of military lawyers into immigration judges comes after the Trump administration has fired more than two dozen immigration judges nationwide so far this year. Unlike federal district court judges, immigration judges work for the Justice Department.

Judge Advocate General Corps officers are tasked with providing legal support to service membersand their families or advising commanders on the legalities of warfare. The defense lawyers would likely need to undergo some training in immigration law, procedure and policy.

The Trump administration loosened the job requirements for temporary immigration judges last month, allowing a wider group of government lawyers to handle cases in immigration court. Its new rule, published in the Federal Register in late August, states that the Justice Department "no longer believes the restriction of [temporary immigration judges] to current Department employees with a threshold level of immigration law experience serves [the Executive Office for Immigration Review's] interests."

Previously, only Justice Department lawyers with a decade of immigration law experience or former immigration judges could fill those roles.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association criticized the plan in a statement after the new rule was published.(owned a paid by cartels, too bad!)==

"While DoD attorneys may be well suited to handle military matters, immigration law is entirely different and exceptionally complex," AILA said. "It makes as much sense as having a cardiologist do a hip replacement." (Oh sure a lawyer is a lawyer are honest, you are lawfare!)

"The work of immigration judges has been described as life and death decisions in traffic court conditions," the statement continued. "Expecting fair decisions from judges unfamiliar with the law is absurd. This reckless move guts due process and further undermines the integrity of our immigration court system."

The group called on Congress to use its oversight powers "to defend the rule of law and protect the independence of the immigration judiciary."

In Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has already proposed loaning National Guard troops to the federal government for use as immigration judges. He said in May that his office had submitted a proposal to the Trump administration that would activate the nine Florida National Guard members who are Judge Advocate General Corps officers to serve as immigration judges, which legal experts told CBS News is unprecedented.

Typically, when National Guard troops help after a hurricane or secure a protest site, they remain under the command of their state governor, under Title 32 of the U.S. Code.Under DeSantis' plan, the state would relinquish control of these officers to Washington. Title 10 would snap into place, reassigning the JAG officers under the command of the president and defense secretary. This grants them eligibility to serve as federal immigration judges, appointed by the U.S. attorney general.

The Justice Department will pick up the tab for the operation if adopted.It plans to train the officers over six weeks — a crash course in immigration law, procedure and policy. Each officer would need to pass a written exam before donning the judge's robe.

Trump asks Supreme Court to quickly hear appeal to save his tariffs(doubt that seriously)

PUBLISHED WED, SEP 3 2025

Full of shit scares

KEY POINTS

• President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to quickly accept and rule on his effort to overturn lower-court rulings that found most of his tariffs were not legal.

• Trump has made tariffs on imports from other countries the central plank of his administration’s trade policy.

• The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that Trump overstepped his presidential authority when he implemented the steep levies.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday night asked the Supreme Court to quickly accept and rule on an appeal seeking to overturn lower court decisions that found most of his tariffs are illegal.

The request comes five days after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, in a 7-4 ruling, said that Trump overstepped his authority when he implemented the steep levies on virtually every country.

That decision threw a central pillar of Trump’s trade agenda into doubt.

Trump is asking the Supreme Court to hear arguments on his appeal in early November and issue a final decision on the legality of the disputed tariffs soon afterward, according to filings obtained by NBC News from the plaintiffs in the case.

Normally, the Supreme Court would take as long as early next summer to issue such a decision.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in a declaration attached to Trump’s request, said the appeals court ruling “gravely undermines the President’s ability to conduct real-world diplomacy and his ability to protect the national security and economy of the United States,” the filing noted.

Filings by Trump also say that “delaying a ruling until June 2026 could result in a scenario in which $750 billion-$1 trillion in tariffs have already been collected, and unwinding them could cause significant disruption.”

Trump used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, to impose steep levies on trading partners, declaring the United States’ federal deficit with other nations a national emergency.

But the appeals court said that “tariffs are a core Congressional power,” not a presidential authority.

“The core Congressional power to impose taxes such as tariffs is vested exclusively in the legislative branch by the Constitution,” the court said.

The appeals court paused its ruling from taking effect until Oct. 14, giving Trump time to ask the Supreme Court to hear his appeal, and the high court to potentially issue an indefinite stay of the decision until it resolves the appeal.

Jeffrey Schwab, senior counsel at the Liberty Justice Center, which represented plaintiffs who successfully sued to block the tariffs, in a statement said, “The government has now asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review this case. Both federal courts that considered the issue agreed that IEEPA does not give the President unchecked tariff authority.”

“We are confident that our legal arguments against the so‑called ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs will ultimately prevail,” Schwab said.

“These unlawful tariffs are inflicting serious harm on small businesses and jeopardizing their survival

KEK, KEK, KEK!. We hope for a prompt resolution of this case for our clients.”

Abbe Lowell: The veteran defense lawyer squaring off against Trump in Federal Reserve fight

PUBLISHED TUE, SEP 2 20254:57

Erin Doherty

KEY POINTS

• Abbe Lowell is defending Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook following President Donald Trump’s unprecedented move to fire her from her role over allegations of mortgage fraud.

• Lowell, a longtime defense lawyer in Washington, has represented a number of high-profile clients, both Republicans and Democrats, throughout his career. But lately his most high-profile clients have been targets of the Trump administration.

• Lowell often takes on the role of attack dog while he defends his clients, unafraid to criticize Trump administration officials.

He’s fucked and they know it

When President Donald Trump abruptly announced last week that he had fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, a legendary Washington lawyer quickly stepped into the arena.

Abbe Lowell has represented New York Attorney General Letitia James, Hunter Biden, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and several other high-profile political clients, both Republicans and Democrats.

Now he is at the center of Trump’s bid to expand his authority over federal regulators.

Before Trump announced he was firing Cook on Aug. 25, no American president had ever tried to unilaterally remove a Fed governor, pushing Cook and the central bank into uncharted legal territory.

But for Lowell, a fixture in Washington legal circles for decades, fighting a presidential administration’s attempt to exert control over federal regulators is nothing new.

“I have basically challenged the overreach of federal agencies in every administration since Ronald Reagan’s,” Lowell said on MSNBC last month.

“Didn’t matter whether it’s a Democratic or Republican administration. If the government overreaches, then [the] lawyer’s job is to put the government in the right place,” he added.

Cook and James are some of the newer names of the lengthy client list Lowell has built over the years.

James won a civil fraud case against Trump and his family business in 2023. The penalty in the case — roughly $500 million — was thrown out last month.

That same month, the Trump Justice Department launched a federal grand jury investigation into James over alleged “mortgage fraud.”

The allegations against James were publicly leveled earlier this year by the same Trump ally, Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte, who made the claims against Cook.

Lowell, not afraid to serve as the attack dog for his clients, has called the investigation into James “the most blatant and desperate example of this administration carrying out the president’s political retribution campaign.”

Lowell, 73, has also represented several other high-profile clients during his career, including Kushner and Ivanka Trump, the president’s son-in-law and eldest daughter.

Kushner and Ivanka Trump retained Lowell during Trump’s first term to represent them in a special counsel probe of Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

Former Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., hired Lowell’s then-firm to defend him in a 2017 federal bribery case that ended in a mistrial. Menendez was convicted in a separate federal bribery case last year.

Lowell also defended Hunter Biden, who was convicted last year on federal gun related charges, before being pardoned by his father, former President Joe Biden.

Lowell also served as minority counsel to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee during impeachment proceedings against former President Bill Clinton in 1998.

But since Trump’s return, the bulk of Lowell’s clients have been individuals targeted by the Trump administration, giving him a familiar playbook as he takes on the White House in legal filings and in the courtroom.

“The difference,” he says, between the Trump administration and other administrations, is that the Trump White House overreaches “over and over again.”

“So I guess the bottom line is this is consistent with what I and the people I’m working with have always done. There’s just more of it to do,” Lowell said on NPR’s “Morning Edition” last month.

Following a familiar strategy in Cook’s case as in his others, Lowell quickly filed a lawsuit on her behalf last week after Trump moved to fire her over unsupported allegations of mortgage fraud.

“Nothing in these vague, unsubstantiated allegations has any relevance to Gov. Cook’s role at the Federal Reserve, and they in no way justify her removal from the Board,” Lowell said in a statement on Friday, after Pulte filed a second criminal referral against Cook with the Justice Department.

Lowell also sharply criticized the effort during a Friday court hearing on the matter that ended without an immediate decision…
