Chief immigration judge quits amid Biden administration purge

The EOIR (Executive Office for Immigration Review) is supposed to operate as an independent judicial decision-maker, but insiders say it has been captured by the Biden administration.

In the 18 months that the Biden administration has been in office, it has reassigned two of EOIR’s top leaders and pressured two others into resigning. That’s in addition to the half-dozen judges ousted.

“Although the attorney general claimed he would not politicize DOJ, it has become a politicized, toxic and hostile environment due to these actions. Without congressional or [inspector general] oversight, employees are scared, especially at EOIR,” the official said.

(T)he judges serve critical roles in immigration enforcement. They rule on cases of immigrants who fight their deportations, deciding whether they get to stay in the U.S. or should be removed.

"Judges are supposed to operate independently based on the law, but the Biden team has weaponized the courts to try to achieve its policy goals", said Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge. “The immigration court is supposed to be a neutral arbiter, and yet regrettably under Biden administration policies they’re being asked to play a central role in carrying out the president’s agenda,” Mr. Arthur said.

A lengthy list of groups questioned why Mr. Short was hired as chief immigration judge in the first place and complained that in his previous job as principal legal adviser at ICE he had pushed back against attempts to dismiss or terminate deportation cases.

The Biden administration is fighting to clear the backlog by terminating or dismissing cases at a record rate, shifting the cases out of active status and effectively granting the illegal immigrants de facto permission to remain in the country.

True, but in this specific case it's all about importing unskilled government-dependent peons for Democrat votes - what's best for America be damned.

What this regime's doing is purposely evil and reprehensible. Save impeachments for the non-traitorous villains; this bunch need criminal trials and my tagline.

"... criminal trials and my tagline."

Yes indeed!
We need to see & hear lots of noose reports in the noosepapers and on TV...
This is not an attempt at gallows humor...
