Former Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba is all but certain to be headed for the door next week leaving behind portraits of herself on the walls and disgruntled staffers after her brief stint as a U.S. attorney comes to an end.

According to a report from the New York Times, her appointment as the U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey on an interim basis began in "chaos" and is now drawing to a close, with employees looking forward to her departure while also considering leaving too.

Hello...

While the Trump administration loves to boast about its immigration crackdown, it’s not eager to share the details of who is doing the cracking. And now it's not just Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who can hide their identities. Government lawyers representing ICE get to do so as well. 

On Tuesday, The Intercept reported that at least two immigration judges are allowing government lawyers to hide their names. Does anyone else get to hide their names? Of course not. When Judge ShaSha Xu declared at the start of a hearing that “We’re not really doing names publicly,” she did so only after stating her name, the name of the immigrants, and the names of their lawyers. This is necessary, per Xu, because “privacy” and “things lately have changed.” 

This is basically unheard of. Courts maintain a complete record of proceedings, and identifying the lawyers involved is a core part of that. Secret lawyers are just not a thing. This leaves immigrants unable even to identify who is pushing for them to be deported. But hey, some ICE attorneys think that it is “dangerous to state their names publicly,” and some immigration judges appear to agree.
