The Trump administration is quietly firing immigration judges — right as mass deportations ramp up.

Fifteen more judges got the boot via email, bringing the total to 50 removed since Trump took office. And this isn’t about discipline — many judges have no idea why they were let go.

All this is happening while there’s a backlog of 4 million deportation cases and just after Congress approved $3 million to hire new judges.

So why cut judges? Because this isn’t about a fair process — it’s about a fast one.

The administration’s pushing for oral-only decisions, deputizing military officers as judges, and slashing the role of immigration courts altogether.

Fewer hearings. Less oversight. Deport first, ask questions later.

If ever there was a moment to ask what kind of justice system we want — and if due process still matters for immigration — this is it.
