The implications of military lawyers as immigration judges

Season 2025 Episode 245 | 4m 53s

The Trump administration will temporarily assign military lawyers to act as judges in immigration cases. Geoff Bennett discussed questions surrounding the move with James McPherson. He was the undersecretary of the Army during the first Trump administration, and also had a 25-year career in the Navy, where he served as that service's top lawyer in uniform.
