    Judge Jamee Comans said Friday that she had no authority to question Rubio’s determination.

    So, if an immigration judge can’t question the Secretary of State’s determination, who can?

      A real judge. Immigration judges are employees of the Department of Justice and follow the orders of the Attorney General. He has another case in front of a federal judge in New Jersey who can question that determination.

      2 things to note: They want to deport him to Syria or Algeria and not to El Salvador so hopefully he remains free at least.

      The judge making this assessment is part of the executive branch and not a federal judge and made it on very literal terms (spineless and ethically bankrupt but not the final decision). Secretary of state said hes is a threat to US foreign policy in writing therefore he can be deported as the law states that he can be deported if the secretary of state says he is a threat to US foreign policy.

        No more 1st amendment. Any speech the administration doesn’t like can now be considered a ‘threat to US foreign policy’

    From 2009 to 2012, Comans was an associate attorney with Matt Greenbaum LLP in New Orleans. In 2012 she began working for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as an assistant chief counsel to the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor in Memphis, Tennessee; in 2021, she was promoted to Deputy Chief Counsel in Jena and Oakdale, Louisiana. From 2021 to 2022, she was an immigration judge at the LaSalle Immigration Court in Jena.[2]

    In January 2023, she was appointed as an Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, with primary responsibility for the Oakdale, LaSalle, and New Orleans immigration courts.[2]

    So, worked for ICE as a hatchet attorney. Cool. Cool cool cool.

    So they’ll keep kicking another can until no one cares and it becomes precedent. Never saw that coming.
