The Trump administration is at it again, and this time, it’s making some seriously questionable moves that have a lot of people scratching their heads. Nearly 20 more immigration judges were fired this month, bringing the total number of judges cut by the administration to over 80 this year alone. We’re talking about courts in major cities like New York and Los Angeles, and states like Florida, Maryland, and Washington, that have all been affected by this latest round of terminations.
It’s a pretty big deal, and if you’re keeping track of the government’s efforts to handle immigration, this is a huge change. This most recent wave of firings is part of a larger trend we’ve seen all year. According to NPR, just a few weeks ago, five other judges were also let go, and back in February, an even larger group of two dozen immigration judges were terminated right before their first day on the job.
