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.
Thanks for the clarification!
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.
Judge James Comens is a coward, who should be named and shamed
So they'll keep kicking another can until no one cares and it becomes precedent. Never saw that coming.
