To say that my time as the American Immigration Council’s Morgan Lewis Military Immigration Fellow came during a memorable moment between the intersection of the U.S. military and the execution and enforcement of U.S. immigration law would be an understatement. Sensationally, the current administration has repeatedly utilized the military for immigration enforcement, whether by summarily firing existing civil immigration judges and appointing military lawyers in their stead, or sending militarized forces into cities perceived by the administration as too friendly to immigrant populations. Given this reality, it may be surprising that my interaction with the various immigration officials handling military immigration cases during the Fellowship was positive. It certainly was to me.
