Trump Administration Continues Firing Immigration Judges – IFPTE responds

Following last weekend’s firing of over a dozen Immigration Judges (IJs), IFPTE, which represents IJs nationwide and members of the National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ/IFPTE Judicial Council 2), stated that, “the removal of experienced judges is hypocritical, undermines the law, wastes taxpayer dollars, and further delays justice for citizens and immigrants alike.” 

The latest firings bring the number of IJs that have been removed from federal service since President Trump took office to 128.  Read IFPTE’s full statement, and see President Biggs discussing the firings on ABC and NBC (President Biggs begins at the 3:50 mark).
