“It feels like a Monday afternoon massacre.”

Trump Administration Fires 8 Immigration Judges in New York​

Before Monday, about 90 immigration judges had been fired this year across the United States, including six in New York City. There are about 600 immigration judges nationwide, according to federal officials. Union officials said that 36 of the fired judges had been replaced nationwide, including two in New York.

Monday’s firings represented a significant downsizing of staff at 26 Federal Plaza, which employs 34 immigration justices. It is one of three federal immigration courts in the city.

“The court has been basically eviscerated,” said Olivia Cassin, who was fired from her job as an immigration judge at another New York City courthouse in November. Ms. Cassin said that she had the job for more than a decade. “It feels like a Monday afternoon massacre.”

Why? The author of the article speculates it's due to trump wanting to accelerate deportations.

Monday’s firings occurred two days after nearly 200 protesters gathered in Lower Manhattan to thwart a possible ICE raid, drawing the ire of federal officials. The Trump administration has vowed to ramp up deportation efforts in New York, and officials have frequently criticized its so-called sanctuary policies, which prevent local law enforcement officers from cooperating with federal immigration authorities on most matters.

Petulance continues unabated.

“…trump wanting to accelerate deportations.”

Trump is wrong, as usual – it will further delay deportations.

Immigrants seeking asylum are entitled to due process, whether Trump and his racist supporters like it or not.

 

[berg80]

But immigration judges who were fired earlier this year suggested that the administration was targeting judges who were considered too lenient and was also trying to create a feeling of fear.

What? The regime trying to intimidate judges? Perish the thought.

Given your penchant for actual violence, I don't think you people should be using the word "massacre" in this context.

So your leftwing hack says it "suggested" something.

Get back to me when you have evidence, Moron.

These aren't Article III judges; these are Executive magistrates that handle immigration cases and work for the President.

Apparently, he just likes to break things.

Exactly!

"Do you have evidence to support your asylum claim?"

"Yes"

"Show me"

"I don't have it with me."

"Buh Bye. Next!"
