Trump Administration Fires 8 Immigration Judges in New York

Recommended Posts

The Trump administration fired eight immigration judges in New York City on Monday, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

The firings followed an earlier round of job cuts in New York immigration courts and are part of a broader disruption across the country, which is taking place as the president seeks to accelerate deportations.

They were confirmed by an official at the National Association of Immigration Judges, a union representing immigration judges, and a Justice Department official who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter.

All the judges were dismissed from the immigration court’s offices at 26 Federal Plaza, a building that houses the New York City headquarters for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city. The eight judges included Amiena A. Khan, the assistant chief immigration judge at 26 Federal Plaza, who supervises other judges there.

This is what I voted for. More of this, less piggish behavior.

Nothing toughens up our immigrant-vetting process more than cutting jobs and firing experience.
