More immigration judges are being fired amid Trump's efforts to speed up deportations
Briefly

Fifteen immigration judges were informed via email of their terminations effective July 22, contributing to a pattern of job cuts urged by the Trump administration for accelerating deportations. The judges were at the end of their two-year probationary period with the Executive Office for Immigration Review and received no explanations for their firings. This follows a larger trend where approximately 50 judges have been dismissed in the last six months, despite Congress approving significant funding for hiring more immigration judges to address workforce shortages.
Fifteen immigration judges received notices of termination from their positions, effective July 22, as part of a larger trend of cutbacks by the Trump administration.
Immigration judges across several states were informed of their termination without a clear reason, after completing their two-year probationary period with the EOIR.
