The Trump administration’s decision to appoint military lawyers as immigration judges has sparked concern among former judges and legal experts. This measure, which also affects Chicago, is seen as a potential threat to the independence of the judiciary and the respect of the rule of law. The concern is that military lawyers, who receive only a few weeks of training, are not adequately prepared for the complex legal challenges associated with immigration cases.
Carla Espinoza and Samuel Cole, both former immigration judges in Chicago, have voiced their concerns. Espinoza, who was fired without cause after President Trump took office, emphasizes that it typically takes six months to a year to become comfortable in the role of a judge and judge cases fairly. Cole, who retired early out of concern for his independence, sees the independence of the judiciary at risk.
The decision to use military lawyers without extensive experience in immigration law is being criticized by the International Federation of Professional & Technical Engineers. Matthew Biggs, president of the union, points out that prior to the current administration, seven years of experience in immigration law was required. The new judges could be under pressure to rule in the government’s favor, which could further threaten their independence.
The long-term impact of this decision could be significant. Experts fear that the quality of immigration jurisprudence could suffer, leading to an erosion of trust in the justice system. The issue of independence and respect for the rule of law remains a key concern as the Trump administration continues to advance its plans.
