Raquel Aldana: Florida plan to deputize National Guard officers as immigration judges at Alligator Alcatraz would likely violate constitutional rights

For The Conversation (“Florida plan to deputize National Guard officers as immigration judges at Alligator Alcatraz would likely violate constitutional rights“), my colleague Raquel Aldana writes that neither President Donald Trump nor Florida Governor Ron DeSantis can legally create a new system of immigration judges outside of the one established by Congress:

“As an immigration scholar, I believe that allowing Florida JAG officers to serve as immigration judges bypasses this framework that is set in law, and violates the constitutionally mandated separation of powers.”
