Immigration court staff nationwide were ordered by the Trump administration to take down all coronavirus posters from courtrooms and waiting areas.
The Executive Office for Immigration Review, which falls under the Department of Justice, told all judges and staff members in an email Monday that all coronavirus posters, which explain in English and Spanish how to prevent catching and spreading the virus, had to be removed immediately.
“This is just a reminder that immigration judges do not have the authority to post, or ask you to post, signage for their individual courtrooms or the waiting areas,” wrote Christopher A. Santoro, the country’s acting chief immigration judge in a mass email to immigration court administrators nationwide.
“Per our leadership, the CDC flyer is not authorized for posting in the immigration courts. If you see one (attached), please remove it. Thank you.”
However on Tuesday morning— just four hours after the Miami Herald published this story—a Department of Justice spokesman contacted the Herald to say that the “the signs shouldn’t have been removed. It’s now being rectified.”
Officials declined to discuss why the email was sent in the first place, and who told the chief immigration judge to issue the directive.

can someone explain what is wrong with putting up these signs?
I dont get this story
Current score in the disease competition, America Division:
Coronavirus:
687: Current cases
679 (99%) in Mild Condition
8 (1%) Serious or Critical
Deaths: 27
The Flu:
Cases: 45 million
Deaths: 46,000
Wash your hands.
Let me guess: someone at “immigration” thought that these posters were offensive and would stigmatize “migrants” and therefore should be removed. Because we should all die to be politically correct.
Bureaucratic idiots don’t have something better to do than fuss over this?
If you’re just gonna post numbers willy nilly, you could at least get ones that aren’t outdated.

You’re welcome.
“immigration judges do not have the authority to post, or ask you to post, signage for their individual courtrooms or the waiting areas”
If that’s the Regulation, so be it.
Imagine what some Lefty courtroom areas would look like if they could put up whatever they wanted to post?
“I’m with her”
“I’ve got your back”
“Che for Presidente”
“How to evade Capture at the border”
The list would be endless.
HOORAY Chief. DO whatever the heck you want. They do.
i get that part
just wondering what the deal is here..did a snowflake person object in the Admin or what...and why the reversal
The Administration needs to take its head out of the sand, immediately. The time for wishful thinking has past.
The US has squandered all the time we can afford.
We are no longer in a short term crisis. Whether it is middle or long term will depend on the next couple of weeks.

EXACTLY. If Nancy Satan would come out with her hands on her hip and give it the old, HOW DARE YOU!...It may resonate.
A mystery which would be much easier to solve if the e-mail was actually signed.
Don't most e-mails come from a specified source? I'm guessing your theory is more than likely correct since the media seems most uninterested in who sent it.
Interesting that they could name Christopher A. Santoro, but not who sent the original.
I assume that a low level “resistance” mole in the government decided that it would look bad if “the Trump adminstration” took down coronavirus awareness posters and she he made it happen and then alerted the media.
I’d better find my pearls.
Does nobody in that administration talk to anyone else in the administration?
I seriously had no idea what the hell that post was even about myself.
“I’d better find my pearls.”
Go ahead and pawn them.
They don’t hold their value, and they’re never coming back.
