The Trump administration fired at least seven immigration judges in New York City, according to a spokesperson for the National Association of Immigration Judges and a review of a DOJ staff directory. Here's what to know: |
- Those immigration judges worked at 26 Federal Plaza, which also houses the ICE's field office and has become an epicenter for arrests of migrants and protests over Trump's hardline immigration agenda.
- The fired judges in New York include Amiena Khan, the assistant chief immigration judge, who during Trump's first term had spoken out against the DOJ's efforts to dissolve the National Association of Immigration Judges union, according to the organization's spokesperson. She rose to become the group's leader in 2021.
- More than 100 immigration judges out of about 700 have been fired or pushed out since Trump's return to office in January, according to the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
- Last month, the administration fired five immigration judges in San Francisco, as well as one judge in New York City and another in Boston, the association's spokesperson said. On Monday, a former immigration judge in Ohio who was fired in February sued, arguing she was wrongly terminated because of her sex, national origin and political affiliation.
