The “Mega-Master” executive shift increases the docket from the traditional of 36 people to 100 or more per judge. Reports from immigration practitioners suggest that the government is specifically targeting respondents whose hearings were originally scheduled for 2027, 2028, or 2029, moving them up to current dates.

But this is simply a reflection of the fact that in war powers, as in many areas of law that are not readily subject to clean judicial enforcement, the two are not so easily separated. It doesn’t mean that the law doesn’t matter; it just means that law isn’t the only thing that matters.

A federal judge in West Virginia has given the Trump administration an ultimatum: Stop illegally detaining immigrants or face contempt rulings and “monetary sanctions against responsible officials.”

But experts say that it has become clear during Trump’s second term in office that he has not given much heed to legal standards, particularly international law. That has been seen in both the U.S. abduction of former Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro in January and also Trump’s threats at one point to take Greenland, potentially by force, from NATO ally Denmark.
