The Trump administration is tapping National Guard and Army Reserve lawyers to be temporary immigration judges after firing dozens of existing judges, the latest step in a broader plan that experts warn could harm immigration courts and the military justice system.

A reminder, in immigration court:

  • You do not have the right to an attorney
  • You don’t get a jury
  • The judge gets fired if he rules in the favor of defendants too often

Add military administration to this, and there’s a word for the system that’s created.
