As soon as the Republicans take over Congress they need to pass a law that would prohibit presidents from firing judges appointed by a previous administration.

Immigration judges/ALJ's are Article I judges, not Article III. That means they are part of the executive branch, not the Judicial branch - and serve at the whim of whatever administration is in power at the time.

Pretty much the only way to fix that would be a constitutional amendment, making administrative law judges fall under Article III. But then there would have to be advice and consent by the Senate to appoint, just like any other life term federal judge.
