"Fifteen immigration judges received notices of termination from their positions, effective July 22, as part of a larger trend of cutbacks by the Trump administration."
"Immigration judges across several states were informed of their termination without a clear reason, after completing their two-year probationary period with the EOIR."
Fifteen immigration judges were informed via email of their terminations effective July 22, contributing to a pattern of job cuts urged by the Trump administration for accelerating deportations. The judges were at the end of their two-year probationary period with the Executive Office for Immigration Review and received no explanations for their firings. This follows a larger trend where approximately 50 judges have been dismissed in the last six months, despite Congress approving significant funding for hiring more immigration judges to address workforce shortages.
