DOJ axed NY judge who handed out more asylum claims 97% percent of the time

  • Judge Vivienne Gordon-Uruakpa was fired by the Department of Justice in September 2025 for approving asylum claims at a 97% rate, the highest in New York State.
  • From 2019 to 2024, Gordon-Uruakpa granted asylum in 806 out of 924 cases, significantly higher than the national average where about 60% of claims were denied.
  • Over 100 immigration judges with more lenient records were dismissed during President Trump's second term amid efforts to prioritize stricter asylum decisions.
  • Around 80% of asylum seekers were deported in late 2025, reflecting a tougher stance on immigration court decisions and the appointment of new judges, including military lawyers.
