Trump OKs using National Guard as immigration judges at Florida detention center (www.miamiherald.com)

“He didn’t even have to ask me. He has my approval,” Trump said during a roundtable discussion at the immigration detention center in the Everglades.

Unlike federal judges, who work for the judicial branch and are independent of the President, immigration judges work under the direction of the U.S. Attorney General. Because the detention center is built on an old airstrip, DeSantis and others have also said it will speed up the deportation process by allowing the federal government to fly migrants out of the site.

In a previous article, it wasn't just national guard, it was vague civilians as well. They will be able to disappear more and more people very quickly with this set up.

Might be worth recalling that Ron DeSantis got his start as a DOJ staffer overseeing torture conducted at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
