The Air Force is the only one of the military branches involved in President Donald Trump's mandated border mission to not disclose publicly the number of service members or what units they're coming from.
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when
called into the actual Service of the United States;
Befehl ist Befehl isn’t a valid defense.
There doesn’t need to be a valid defense because no crimes are alleged.
The Air Force is operating a flight, chartered by ICE, to transport foreign nationals to their country of origin. The people are in ICE custody, ICE is the law enforcement body who is transporting them for deportation.
The Air Force is no more enforcing domestic law than Delta is when ICE uses them to transport deportees.
I think Trump’s deportation program is massively destructive and likely violates the law in many places. But that doesn’t mean that literally every aspect of it is a crime and everyone involved is acting illegally.
The Air Force isn’t acting illegally by transporting ICE, which is the point of contention here. I mean, do you think that AFJAG is unaware that this is happening?
Don’t confuse getting upvotes from outrage junkies with having rational opinions.
