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.

looks like the Wise Latina has been scarfing down too much Carnitas.
Winning!
Every one of these “Judges” is admitting publicly that the LAW doesn’t mean jack to them and they pass judgement based on their personal feelings, they should all be brought before Congress, Impeached and FIRED!!!@
if they’re having that hard a time enforcing our national soverienty and Constitution, then good riddance. Maybe they should get jobs in a day care center where they won’t be triggered.
Please oh please, please, please...
Good. These eunuchs and sore losers can go play golf....
40 prog judges can have a pretty good weekly tournament. They can discuss how bad they had it living large on the taxpayer and tip their illegal caddies a couple of bucks at the end of the round.
“No one told me that I had to enforce the law!” “ I did not sign up for this, I’m out of here..... and I’m taking my ball”.
Really? BYE!!
Well. Bye!
They are not _judges_ they are criminals who legislate from the bench and/or make rulings based on anything but USConstitution and law lawfully legislated from it.
The _only_ ruling for cases without said law to base a decision, is: no authority. The only ruling.
Jail for judges is the only solution to unlawful judicial decisions.

Bears repeating!!!!
It’s the damn law, it is not Trump’s policies.
Millions of people cannot walk in to the country. We are not putting 40% of Central America on US welfare. Just so the Democratic Party can have more voters.
We have huge liabilities, and our own poor that Trump is getting jobs for, we cannot just have millions invade.
Here is the real reason they are retiring. First, they are probably all eligible for full retirement benefits. Second, for the first time in their lengthy careers they are having to work more than twenty hours a week, and this is cramping their lifestyle dramatically. Oh, they are definitely unhappy with Trump, but they will remain so after they quit because they are Democrats first and foremost. They will be content to be unhappy on a lower retirement income.
Out of how many?? And I'm "sure" Trump can find replacements.
They are as you say a motley crew.
With all the able and perspicacious judges we could have on the bench, many of whom could have been hispanic &/or female incidentally rather than by design, we had to have an affirmative action pick.
Her judicial abilities are with questionable; she certainly is not capable of formulating a coherent narrative.
I hope every one of these leftist nitwits quits...the sooner the better. Mainly, they were alien-loving, Citizen-despising leftist losers who were stealing the taxpayers’ money while allowing aliens into the country as quickly as they could. It is unfortunate that some will get retirement money for screwing-up the United States. I “judge” them complete failures.
Who wants to bet me that all these ‘judges’ live behind gates, security staff, or in high rises with doormen & multiple doors to get inside. ???
Or they live in the very best parts of town & never see the debris of the illegal invader part of our country. ???
UNTIL a member of Congress is attacked by MS-13 or one of these ‘judges’ is in the cross hairs, they just will continue to refuse to believe that the open borders policy is madness.
100 members of Free Republic would make better “Immigration Judges’ than what is there now.
