Trump Clearing Immigration Courts as ‘Judicial
Judges Quietly Removed
Around 50 federal immigration judges were dismissed with minimal notice — just a brief email. “The era of activist immigration judges undermining the law has ended,” signaling a shift under President Trump’s renewed administration.
Controversy and Claims
Some judges claim the firings were retaliatory or discriminatory. Judge Jennifer Peyton, let go despite “glowing reviews,” called it unfair. Sen. Dick Durbin called her removal an “abuse of power.”
Union and Legal Backlash
The immigration judges’ union says about 100 judges were either fired or pushed out. “That’s what happens when a bloated bureaucracy used to zero consequences finally faces a reckoning,” critics argue.
Accountability or Overreach?
Erez Reuveni, a former DOJ lawyer, claims deportations are being fast-tracked, bypassing judges. “One voice can be ignored. But a chorus… that can no longer be silenced,” he warned. Supporters say it’s not discrimination, just consequences — and long-overdue reform.
