Isn’t it crazy that RFK Jr only has law degree and no medical background is running HHS? Has that ever happened before? Yes. From 2021-2025 under Biden. Xavier Becerra also just had a law degree and no medical background. Funny you don’t hear about that.

It’s pretty important to note that HHS usually doesn’t actually dictate much of what goes on in the agencies they oversee. The FDA and CDC are supposed to be apolitical. That’s no longer the case. I think Becerra was nominated for HHS because of his experience fighting for the ACA and his experience as an attorney general, because he ended up being the one fighting lawsuits over ACA and abortion access at the federal level as well

Precedently no, because a lot of “deportations” happened right at the border

Adding on to my statement, the expedited removal was also limited prior to trump administration

Some of it was constitutionally questionable IIRC. But he sure af didn’t defy court rulings and have his DOJ lie in court

One of Obama’s HHS secretaries didn’t have a conventional medical background either, but had been involved with a lot of medical nonprofits and was on the boards of several medical companies
