Big story from yesterday.
“Since Trump took office, 139 immigration judges have been fired, taken an early-out offer, or been involuntarily transferred, according to data provided by the National Association of Immigration Judges. September had the highest number of terminations, with 24 people dismissed. According to the Justice Department, there are more than 600 immigration judges located in 72 immigration courts nationwide.”
Trump has been removing immigration judges who have been granting lots of illegals asylum. It’s not surprising that the Biden administration had hired a bunch of them to help the democrat party secure new voters.
“Immigration courts, unlike federal courts, fall under the executive branch and are housed in the Justice Department, meaning that the administration can wield immense influence over the system even as judges try to maintain independence. The courts are crucial to Trump’s sweeping deportation campaign as the forum where judges decide if immigrants can remain in the United States or be deported.”
Did you catch that?
Immigration courts are part of the Executive Branch and under the Department of Justice.
The president has full constitutional authority to control immigration. Securing the borders and enforcing federal laws, fall under Trump’s Constitutional power alone.
“In the early days of the second Trump administration, newly installed leaders at the Justice Department abruptly removed senior leadership at the agency overseeing the nation’s immigration courts from service, known as the Executive Office for Immigration Review.”
The Executive Office for Immigration Review works for the president.
They serve the president and are required to “follow” the law, not make up law.
Trump is forcing the entire executive branch to follow his lead and his priorities.
Trump’s priorities are enforcing federal law and protecting the American people and their money.
“The removals, which targeted career public servants who together had served in the agency for several years, illustrated the Trump administration’s push to install officials who are aligned with his policy vision.”
“In multiple cases of firings, the judges were not provided a reason for the termination. At least 30 of them had grant rates of 30% or higher — meaning they granted asylum claims — according to an analysis by CNN of available records.”
Deep state bureaucrats do not get to decide the direction of the country.
The American people do.
They overwhelmingly elected Trump for these very policies that he began to immediately enforce.
Any deep state bureaucrat that refuses to implement Trump’s policies is going to be fired.
Period.
Guess who Trump is replacing these immigration judges with?
Military is the only way.
“In late August, the Justice Department eliminated certain requirements for people to serve as temporary immigration judges, paving the way for any attorney to fill the role. Among those the administration has moved to enlist are military lawyers.”
Trump changed the requirements for “temporary” immigration judges and is recruiting military lawyers to fill these roles.
This is all to coordinate and speed up the DEPORTATION initiative that Trump launched as soon as he took office.
All planned way ahead of time.
