This is a perilous time for a fair and passionate judge to leave the bench. By doing so, they risk having Donald Trump appoint their replacement, and considering Trump’s policies and beliefs, that new appointee is pretty likely to have a harsh anti-immigration stance.
But dozens of immigration judges have reported that despite their efforts to stick out the presidency, they’ve just reached their breaking points. The Los Angeles Times spoke with dozens of judges who are quitting or taking early retirement because they simply cannot stomach having to enforce Trump administration policies on immigrants.
Immigration Judge Charles Honeyman served for 24 years on the bench, and thought he still had more time in him. But this month he quit. He told the paper he pushed back against Trump as best he could, doing things like granting asylum for domestic violence victims from other countries, even after the administration released an order saying domestic violence isn’t a valid reason for asylum.
“There are a lot of cases I’m going to have to deny that I’ll feel sick over,” Honeyman said as he reached his breaking point and quit.
A. Ashley Tabaddor, a Los Angeles judge and president of the National Association of Immigration Judges union, called working under the Trump administration “unbearable.”
“Judges are going to other federal agencies and retiring as soon as possible,” Tabaddor said. “They just don’t want to deal with it.”
Jeffrey Chase, a former immigration judge from New York, has formed a group for all the judges nationwide who have quit under this administration’s rules. He said he now has 40 members.

Lol. True.
Hey if there is a shortage I can pick up the slack. I have a pen and a phone.
Appoint me to work from home. I will pay for my own “petition rejected with prejudice” stamp.
So, the Queen of Lesbos, a wise Latina and the Avatar of Death walk into a bar...

So, they are loyal Democrat activists.
LOL! Fair and passionate as opposed to executing the "harsh" law.
Cockroaches
So they believe Trump will be elected again.
MORE WINNING!
I’m not tired of it yet.
Me Me...pick Me!
I'd be really good at it.
"Name? Nationality? Papers?"
(GAVEL!!!)
GET OUT!!!
Next.
Judges?
They’re not really impartial judges; they’re deep state toadies.
Good riddance to them. Now conservatives judges can be appointed.
No dejes que la puerta te golpee al salir..:)
Sonia Sotomayor, arguably the most racist and intellectually vapid member of SCOTUS in my lifetime (and I am closing in on 70), if not the whole of American history.
Here is one of her gems:
“Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences, for jurists who are non-white, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.”
So much for objectiveness and impartiality.
Yes, this is great swamp draining news.
You’re so mean! I bet you even sleep with your house locked at night so that “dreamers” can’t access a better place for them!
So... much... winning...
NEVER getting tired of it.
Winning!
The winning still continues at least. All the more reason to wrap up the phony fake impeachment in the Senate so that Trump can get back to appointing even more constitutional law and order minded judges to the federal benches.
Oh brother.
This is called WINNING!
