Trump fires more immigration judges in what some suspect is a move to bend courts to his will

  • The Trump administration has fired at least eight immigration judges during their probationary period, according to the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers.
  • There are currently about 700 immigration judges in the U.S., facing a backlog of almost 4 million pending cases, including nearly 1.5 million asylum cases.
  • Matt Biggs, the union president, stated that firing judges contributes to the courts' backlog and emphasized that the number of cases is overwhelming, predicting it could take hundreds of years to resolve.
  • Democratic lawmakers have urged the administration to reverse the firings, expressing concern that these actions undermine due process for immigrants.
