Trump Appoints Army Reserve and National Guard as Immigration Judges

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Trump administration is enlisting National Guard and Army Reserve lawyers as temporary immigration judges following the dismissal of numerous existing judges, raising concerns about the impact on immigration courts and military justice. As the administration seeks to fill a backlog of 3.4 million pending cases, critics warn that the lack of required training and experience for these military attorneys could undermine the integrity of the immigration system.
