Summary
The Justice Department fired multiple immigration judges, including five assistant chief judges and 13 new hires, amid a record 3.6 million case backlog.
Critics say the move contradicts Trump’s immigration crackdown, as fewer judges may slow deportations.
Many fired judges were appointed during Biden’s administration, prompting allegations of political motives.
The Trump administration is instead prioritizing mass deportation efforts, recruiting agents from various federal agencies.
