Biden Fires Trump-Appointed Immigration Judges

The Biden administration has canned several immigration judges, all appointed by Trump, and replaced them with “progressive” magistrates. Republicans have an idea as to why this happened (spoiler alert: politics as usual) but sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding answers anyway. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) want the answers by 5 p.m. on August 3.

The letter begins:

Dear Attorney General Garland:

We write about your decision to terminate the employment of multiple immigration judges who were hired during the Trump Administration. If true, your termination of these immigration judges because of their political ideology suggests that the Department of Justice (DOJ) acted in violation of the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA), which specifically prohibits discrimination on the basis of political affiliation. We request your full cooperation with our inquiry.

Grassley and Jordan are pretty sure they know why the illegal immigrant-loving Biden admin sacked the judges, and they even have a receipt:

At least some of these terminations appear to have been the result of a coordinated effort between the Biden-Harris Administration and far-left immigration advocates. In fact, in tweeting about two of the terminations, one such advocate commented: ‘I’m immensely proud to have participated in this campaign.”

Immigration judges have a two-year probationary period, after which they are almost always moved to a permanent gig. Oddly, the judges all got fired just before their probationary period was up. Weird, right? It’s almost like Biden wants illegal immigrants to keep cascading over the southern border with impunity.

FACT-O-RAMA! Immigration judges determine which illegal immigrants can stay and which will be deported.

Surprisingly, immigration judges have their own union. It, too, sent off a cranky letter to the Department of Justice, which oversees the roughly 590 immigration judges. The union’s letter included the following:

I thought it was kinda hard to fire a judge. Not if you’re the “king” I suppose.

Congress will never let it happen, regardless of which party is in the majority. They will never let Trump have that much power.

These are not judges that are part of the judiciary and who require Senate approval. These are administrative court judges that are hired just like any other government employee is and who can be fired just as easily.

Getting the illegal alien flow going again is why BOTH parties cheated Trump out.

Let me guess. You think that people in Congress - McConnell, McCarthy, all the party leaders and the large majority of the House and Senate members - like Trump, respect Trump, and want to help him succeed. That’s so cute.

Yeah...... that’s the ticket.... a strongly worded letter always gets the job done to the satisfaction of all.

Biden is bound and determined that every third-worlder on the planet come here to live. He doesn’t want anything to impede any one of them. God help us.

Biden is a weasel. Everybody can see that in this. Yet some hardened democrats will still back him.
