As a side note, the phantom NTA issue and literal IJ rubber stamp story are both crazy.

 

If you or any of the retired IJs wanted to follow-up on the phantom NTA issue, I just wanted to pass along a good source: CLINC webinar @1:07:08: https://cliniclegal.org/training/archive/orders-border. It also affects the ability to file motions to change venue because DHS is serving the NTA on EOIR the day of the master calendar hearing, so there are no proceedings for which to file a motion until the day of court.

Judge Garland isn’t worried! HE doesn’t have to practice before the dysfunctional Immigration Courts!

Absolutely “nutsos!” But just “another day at the office” in the three-ring circus 🎪🤹‍♀️🤡  that “Ringmaster Garland” calls his “courts!” Where’s the accountability for this disgraceful mess? Where is the Congressional oversight? What happened to the essential “Article I legislation” to remove this continuing clown show from a flailing and failing DOJ?

🇺🇸Due Process Forever!
