Trump administration fires 17 immigration court judges across ten states 🏆

[Maximum Overkill 2,006]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Seventeen immigration court judges have been fired in recent days, according to the union that represents them, as the Trump administration pushes forward with its mass deportations of immigrants in the country.

The International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, which represents immigration court judges as well as other professionals, said in a news release that 15 judges were fired “without cause” on Friday and another two on Monday. The union said they were working in courts in 10 different states across the country — California, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Texas, Utah and Virginia.

“It’s outrageous and against the public interest that at the same time Congress has authorized 800 immigration judges, we are firing large numbers of immigration judges without cause,” said the union’s President Matt Biggs. “This is nonsensical. The answer is to stop firing and start hiring.”

Firings come with courts at the center of administration efforts

The firings come as the courts have been increasingly at the center of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration enforcement efforts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arresting immigrants as they appear at court for proceedings.

Hopefully they can start unlocking everything in Walmart soon. The deodorant is in cages, like Mexican Kids.

Nothing like picking apart our system of checks and balances in our lovely journey to become an autocracy overlorded by a crazed dictator whose cult followers blindly believe in everything he says and does.

So weird that the union representing these judges would say they were fired "without cause."  Unions are usually 100% honest when it comes to firing of their workers.   Such a shame that there was no reason they were let go, according to their union.

This is my first question.  And then by extension, is this something he can legitimately do? 

And then, is this really a good idea? I would need to learn more to have an opinion one way or another.

Dude....You read the article linked yes?  The union said they were fired without cause.  Heck even the AP picked it up. So it absolutely has to be Trump doing bad things again..the union would never lie right?

Well, unions lie with the skill of politicians.  So we can reasonably assume just about anything they say is a lie.

Now, can these judges be tossed like this? What are the limiting principles?

My concern is what comes later.  Democrats are notorious for taking action that feels great in the moment, but in the longer term are profoundly destructive.  My concern is that this sets up the Democrats to be twice as vile....which is a entitlement they afford themselves.
