How has immigrant service in the U.S. military changed over time? My latest research finds that about 830,000 veterans and active-duty service members were born abroad. One in four of this group was born in Mexico or the Philippines. 🧵

After the Trump admin imposed a $100k fee on H-1B visas, one immigration lobbyist predicted, “Someone’s going to file suit, and when they win there’s going to be egg on a bunch of people’s faces.” But so far, there’s no egg.

I dig into why for @lawfare : https://t.co/81XGW8jJ62

“The Question of Standing in Leaks of Non-‘Salacious’ Data: When driver’s license numbers surface online after a data breach, their owners have standing to sue — at least in the Fourth Circuit.” Irene Loewenson has this post at the “Lawfare” blog. https://t.co/8PPIjzpGwU

When can you sue a company for failing to keep your personal data safe? It’s a thorny question. I dug into it in my first piece for @lawfare (and my first non-military-related piece in years!):

The Fourth Circuit’s recent ruling in Holmes v. Elephant Insurance Company makes it easier for people to sue companies when their personal information surfaces online. @iloewenson explains the court's opinion and its wider implications.

Who will be left covering the U.S. Department of Defense after tomorrow at 5 p.m.? Almost no one.

Under the policy, the Pentagon may revoke press passes for anyone it deems a security threat.

How will that be determined? Good question.

"Congress and the administration [must] resist pressure...to redirect this money to other priorities, as has happened in the past. The lobbying power of major defense acquisition programs far outmatches those speaking up for military personnel."

If you're hot, they're hot. Marines are struggling to keep cool in the barracks as temperatures reach unprecedented highs.

"When you have that day after day, and you're just looking for that comfort relief," one Marine said, "it gets really frustrating."

@reporterjoe Thanks, Joe!

[Irene Loewenson @iloewenson]

Today is my last day at Military Times. I have loved reporting on the Marine Corps for the past two years. To my editors, to my colleagues, to the many Marines who have let me tell their stories: I am deeply grateful.

[Irene Loewenson @iloewenson]

@haltman Thanks, Howard!

[Irene Loewenson @iloewenson]

@jwlarson2 @USMC One of my favorite memories as a reporter. Thank you, Josh! It has been great working with you.

[Irene Loewenson @iloewenson]

I blended right in! It was a great opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge about ditties and the Slinky Effect

[Joshua W. Larson @jwlarson2]

I once invited media to a @USMC b-day run from Pentagon to the War Memorial, met with laughs and “yeah rights” from Press. Except one. @iloewenson was like, “I’m new, can I come?” She showed up in purple among a sea of green on green. It was the start of a great relationship.
