SAN DIEGO—Immigration judges in this city are presenting a challenge to the Trump administration’s policy of sending asylum-seeking migrants back to Mexico, terminating such cases at a significantly higher rate than in any other court, according to federal data.
Between January and the end of September, immigration judges in San Diego terminated 33% of more than 12,600 Migrant Protection Protocols cases, also known as Remain in Mexico, according to data collected by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.
Judges in El Paso, Texas, the busiest court hearing MPP cases, terminated fewer than 1% of their more than 14,000 cases.
The nine San Diego judges have repeatedly ruled that asylum seekers waiting in Mexico weren’t properly notified of their court dates or that other due process rights were violated.
The high rate of dismissals is undermining the Trump administration’s goal of quickly ordering the deportation of more illegal border crossers who request asylum, including those who don’t show up from Mexico for their court hearings.
The effect is more symbolic than practical. Such a decision doesn’t mean a migrant is allowed to stay in the U.S., even if they show up for their court hearing. Instead, it saves them from being banned from coming to the country for 10 years and makes it tougher for the government to charge them with a felony if they cross the border illegally in the future. Those whose case is dismissed when they aren’t in court might not even know about the decision unless they call a government hotline.
Spokespeople for Customs and Border Protection, which carries out MPP at the border, and the Department of Homeland Security didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Doing in secret what would never be acceptable out in the open.
just one of the reasons the left is in such a state of panic, 25% of their legislating judges have been replaced, God willing Trump gets 4 more years and the judiciary that the left has been counting on to advance their plans will have been completely reformed. When Ginsburg finally is replaced and I imagine it will be soon, you will see the true panic by the left and it will make the Kavanagh “hearings” look like a child’s tea party the true face of the left will be shown
How do local judges have the power to shut down the President?
Where were they when Barry was at the tiller? (Rhetorical question)
If this isn’t being done by a lone judge, it indicates a conspiracy among several judges who have decided, apart from the facts about individual cases, they will act in concert to undermine current law using any method as a lever. ALL on this court should be immediately under review if Republicans retain the House.
These “judges” are seditionists. Arrest them. Deport or exile THEM. They wouldn’t know rule of law if it bit them on their leftist, anti-American a**es.
What is the process for judicial impeachment here? Or termination with cause?
They don’t. It’s all for show.
Replacing Ginsberg will hit like Hiroshima/Nagasaki. All the 25%ers that were replaced are like the firebombing of Tokyo.
The President has plenary power to determine who is allowed to enter the country. The end.

It might not be the judges. It could be the prosecution or some clerk. Note that the same reason is given - failure of proper notification. This could be the result of some underling, either through intent or through incompetence, setting up the situation where the case is tossed.
Either way, worthy of an investigation.
Amy Barrett will be tough to disparage - even for the slimy Demoncrats.
Fire them.
They are not article III judges. They are administrative laws judges - i.e. they are just bureaucrats like all the other bureaucrats in the feral gubmint.
These are immigration judges, they only do immigration cases. They are appointed and can be removed.
And take his dirty fisa judges with him. Congress need to start impeaching courts and judges remake then with a fresh batch. If president Trump can retake the house that’d be the time to do it
San Diego immigration judges are giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The Constitution has a word for that.
