JUST IN: Trump Administration Fires 20 Immigration Judges as DOGE Onslaught Continues
The Trump administration has abruptly fired 20 immigration judges without explanation, amid broader efforts to downsize the federal workforce.
The dismissals include 13 judges yet to be sworn in and five assistant chief judges, with no immediate plans given on whether they will be replaced.
Immigration courts face a backlog of 3.7 million cases extending back to the Biden years. However, Trump is attempting to revise migration policies to deport as many illegal aliens as possible.
On Valentine's Day, President Trump issued a "valentine's poem" for those in the nation illegally.
"Roses are red, Violets are blue, come here illegally and we’ll deport you," he wrote, adding a heart emoji.
Border Czar Tom Homan backed up the Commander-in-Chief.
"If you look at the rest of interior enforcement, it’s about three times higher than it was a year ago today. Three times higher is good, but I’m not satisfied. There are more criminal aliens that need to be arrested, hundreds of thousands," Homan said.
"Sanctuary cities are putting roadblocks up," he added. "We’ve got leaks. So we need to increase the arrests of illegal aliens, especially those with criminal convictions. So we’re going to continue."
