Trump DOJ Uses MILITARY LAWYERS as CIVILIAN STAFF QUITS!!
From MeidasTouch
The Department of Justice is experiencing an unprecedented staff exodus, leading to a reliance on military lawyers from the Judge Advocate General Corps to handle federal prosecutions, particularly related to immigration enforcement in Minnesota. This shift raises concerns about the constitutional obligations of the government regarding detainees, as a federal judge highlighted the challenges faced by the DOJ in managing a surge of cases.
Key Takeaways
- When military lawyers become prosecutors, you know the DOJ has entered an alternate universe.
- 14 departures from the Minnesota DOJ this year? That’s a legal mass exodus, not just a turnover.
- ‘My job sucks’ should be the slogan for the DOJ—lawyers overwhelmed and undertrained are the new norm.
- Federal judges don’t accept chaos as a defense for unlawful detentions—'administrative difficulty' won’t cut it!
- If ICE lawyers are volunteering for the DOJ, we might really need to rethink our punishment policies.
