  1. How did the #Jag end up going through the whole pub wall like that? Luckily no one was badly hurt, but were they driving like they were being chased by the #Sweeney ?

    (maybe only older folk will get that one 😁 )

  2. “Why should I not hold you in #contempt?” the judge asked a #DOJ lawyer at a hearing last week. Instead of answers, she got excuses.

    “I don’t think there was ever any intention to defy the court orders,” said the lawyer, Matthew Isihara, a military judge advocate [#JAG] on temporary assignment to the Justice Department. “We were doing our best & things, unfortunately, slipped — slipped through the cracks.”

  3. You do have to wonder if surging #JAG attorneys to #minnesota isn't about trying to generate more #subpoenas, so #ICE has more to do that just harass every black and brown person they come across.

  4. …Dan Maurer, a retired #Army lieutenant colonel & former #JAG lawyer, said that the guidance, as described by CNN, appears to “misunderstand what a servicemember is supposed to do in the face of an unlawful order: disobey it if confident that the order is unlawful & attempt to persuade the order-giver to stop or modify it have failed, & report it through the chain of command.”

  5. …current & former #US officials, however, including those who have served as miliary lawyers in the Judge Advocate General [#JAG] corps, stressed that broadly encouraging servicemembers to quietly retire — if they’re eligible — rather than voice dissent in the face of a potentially illegal order risks perpetuating a culture of #silence & lack of #accountability.

  6. …Each judge who is terminated or resigns leaves behind thousands of cases, with those scheduled for this year now rescheduled to as far out as 2030. #Immigration advocates have warned the #layoffs contribute to the backlog.

  7. NPR has tracked at least 140 #ImmigrationJudges who have been fired, quit or took an early retirement offer from the admin. At least 90 of them, including those who were supervisors, have received termination notices from the #Trump administration. Of the #judges fired between February & October this year, most had experience in #immigration defense, an NPR investigation found.

  8. The #Trump admin claims to have authorized the use of #MilitaryLawyers as temporary #judges in an effort to streamline the millions-long backlog of #immigration cases in the #courts.

    However, that backlog has only gotten worse as immigration courts, which are housed within the #DOJ, have seen efforts to restructure their workforce.

  9. "Given the administration's unlawful terminations of qualified #judges, & their plan to leverage the power of temporary positions to speed up their mass deportation agenda, the risks of grave injury to families, fairness, & #DueProcess have expanded," he said.

  10. …"The #Trump administration's willingness to fire experienced #judges & hire inexperienced or temporary 'deportation judges,' especially in places like California, has fundamentally impacted the landscape of our justice system," Schiff told NPR in a statement.

  11. The firings come as the admin seeks to reshape who serves on #courts & makes decisions about which #immigrants are allowed to stay in the #US.

    There are no #Republican cosponsors on the measure, meaning it's unlikely to pass in a #GOP-controlled #Congress. But the #legislation adds to the scrutiny that #Democrats have brought to the adminn's approach to #immigration courts & their personnel.

  12. The #legislation was introduced after the admin fired at least 14 #ImmigrationJudges in the last 2 weeks, acc/to the #union that represents them, with many of those having been terminated after years of experience on the bench. Those layoffs add to >90 other terminations so far this year, acc/to a count kept by NPR & the union that represents #immigration #judges.

  13. Such limits would preclude much of the admin's effort to authorize up to 600 #MilitaryLawyers [#JAG — what’s left of them after #Hegseth purged their ranks] to be temporary #ImmigrationJudges; as part of that move, the White House scrapped the requirement that temporary #immigration #judges must have #ImmigrationLaw experience.

  14. A bill introduced Wednesday by California's Sen Adam Schiff & Rep Juan Vargas would authorize the AG to appoint temporary #immigration judges that have served on appellate panels, are administrative judges in other agencies, or have 10 years of #ImmigrationLaw experience.

  15. CW: WARNING!! Google AI speech of hypothetical president Scott Kelly re trust in command. Interesting for sure

    I do not endorse the response, which still embraces the MI Complex, among other issues. It registers squarely in the AI Slop set in the Venn diagram. Thought it might be fun to see the approach.

  16. A group of former military #attorneys [#JAG] who have scrutinized the #Trump administration’s #military activities in #LatinAmerica released an assessment Saturday outlining relevant international & domestic laws, & said that regardless of whether the #US is in an armed conflict, conducting law enforcement or other military operations, the targeting of defenseless people is prohibited.

  17. Deliveries of 🔸the world's first mass-produced electric vehicle equipped with a sodium-ion battery 🔸will begin in January 2024.

    According to CarNewsChina, they're being produced by ♦️JAC Motors♦️a Volkswagen-backed Chinese automaker, through its new Yiwei EV brand.

    From the report:
    The #Yiwei #EV #hatchback will have a cylindrical 🔺sodium-ion 🔺pack from Beijing-based #HiNa #Battery and adopt JAC's UE (Unitized Encapsulation) module technology.

    #UE is also known as a "honeycomb design" because of its appearance.

    It is another battery structure concept like #CATL's #CTP (cell-to-pack) or #BYD's #BladeBattery.

    Yiwei is a new EV brand under Anhui Jianghuai Automobile (JAC), established in 2023.

    JAC's parent company, Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Holdings (#JAG ), is 50% state-owned, and 50% belongs to #Volkswagen Group.

    The German automotive giant acquired its stake in 2020 in an unprecedented move to invest in China's state-owned car maker.

    #IKnowRight? It reads a lot worse than it was... There was #ZeroBodyCount; but, the #Jag was #QuitePoorly
