URGENT: Trump Administration Sacks Dozens of Immigration Judges in Surprise Move.

Breaking News: Trump Administration Sacks Dozens of Immigration Judges in Surprise Move The Trump administration has fired nearly two dozen immigration judges, including at least 14 who received termination notices last Friday, according to sources and a union confirmation. The firings come on top of over 80 judges cut by the president this year. The affected courts include those in Florida, New York, Maryland, California, and Washington state. Immigration judges in these locations will face significant disruptions as they try to process cases amidst the sudden changes. Background: The Trump administration has been criticized for its handling of immigration courts, with many arguing that the firings are part of a broader effort to undermine the judiciary's independence. This move follows the firing of five other immigration judges earlier this year. The current status is unclear, but sources indicate that some judges may face immediate termination, while others will be placed on leave pending further action. The International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE) union has confirmed the firings and expressed concerns about the impact on the judiciary. This is a developing story.
