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.

    Critics say the move contradicts Trump’s immigration crackdown, as fewer judges may slow deportations.

    This is putting a lot of belief that Trump and stooges are doing this above board way. If the goal is for none of the people they round up to never stand in front of a judge, and instead go directly to a concentration camp or labor camp this looks like a way to steer things that way. They’ll claim the system is overloaded and they need to have these people bypass due process.
