And if #Trump went that route, there would be no turning back, according to Raquel Aldana, a law professor at the University of California, Davis: “The reality is that, once he does, the powers can be unlimited & we are in a #MilitaryState.”

It’s “frightening,”VanLandingham said of the plan, because “the use of #military courts to hear #civilian cases is the essential component of #MartialLaw.”

“What you end up with,” Maurer added, “is military officers under #federal control who are running civilian courts.”

“This would be #unlawful,” added Rachel VanLandingham, a professor at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles who was an #AirForce #JAG.

In particular, VanLandingham said, turning #MilitaryLawyers into #ImmigrationJudges would likely violate the #PosseComitatusAct, a federal #law that bars US troops from participating in #civilian #LawEnforcement or “executing the laws,” unless otherwise authorized to do so by the #Constitution or #Congress.

It’s also important to remember that shortly after taking office, #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth fired the top #JAG officers of the #Army & #AirForce. The position at the #Navy was already vacant. Hegseth has long expressed hostility toward #MilitaryLawyers.

He has called them “jagoffs,” & complained they unduly restricted rules of engagement on the battlefield. He also questioned whether it made sense to obey the #GenevaConventions, a core ethos of JAG lawyers.
