Summary
The Trump administration has abruptly fired 20 immigration judges without explanation, raising concerns amid efforts to accelerate deportations.
The firings include judges who had yet to be sworn in and senior officials overseeing immigration courts, which already face a backlog of 3.7 million cases.
Union official Matthew Biggs said it was unclear if the move was meant to send a message on immigration policy but called it part of a broader federal workforce purge, adding, “They’re treating these people as if they’re not human beings. It’s bad all around.”
People may see this as a self-own by Trump, but it is not. They’re going all in on Gitmo and extra-jurisdictional imprisonment and suspension of habeas corpus.
it isn’t. his plan simply doesn’t require them.
Yep.
These firings simply an excuse. Now they can say “look, there’s no judges to handle cases. Backlog” etc…
Another Chumped up problem created simply to support the Chump narrative.
🤡 🤡
The backlog is already over 3 million people, it probably is just another case of everyone that was on their probationary period being fired like in every other part of the government.
I thought they would hire kangaroo-court style judges that just wave everyone through to gitmo.
BINGO. They’re going to create a regime of terror to try to dissuade people from coming and scare the rest into leaving.
Without judges, he can “deport” legal immigrants or even citizens and who will prove him wrong?
