Hegseth Orders Military to Detail Dozens of Attorneys to DOJ

**Summary:**The War Department, under Secretary Pete Hegseth, has ordered the military to provide forty-eight attorneys and four paralegals for temporary duty with the Justice Department. These lawyers will assist in immigration cases in Memphis and cities near the U.S.-Mexico border, with assignments potentially lasting through next fall. This move is part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to utilize military resources for immigration enforcement. The military attorneys, known as judge advocates, typically handle a wide range of legal work, and their involvement in civilian cases raises questions about the impact on the military's own justice system.
