More Immigration Judges’ Heads Roll as Trump Continues Clearing Way for Deportations – At Least 100 Judges off the Bench Since January

The article reports that eight left-wing immigration judges in New York City were fired as part of President Donald Trump’s effort to remove judges he considers activist and unwilling to enforce federal immigration laws. These judges worked at the immigration court offices located at 26 Federal Plaza, ICE’s headquarters in Manhattan, a site that has experienced left-wing protests and violence against ICE officers.

Since January, over 100 immigration judges nationwide have been dismissed or have resigned. Among those fired was Amiena Khan, an assistant chief immigration judge who granted asylum in nearly 90% of the cases she adjudicated from 2019 to 2024-a rate much higher than the national average denial rate of 57.7%. the article suggests that such leniency undermines immigration enforcement, especially given concerns about asylum fraud.

Critics, including Democrats and left-leaning media, oppose the firings, but the article defends the Trump governance’s actions as necessary to uphold immigration laws and public safety. It condemns judges who obstruct presidential immigration policies, arguing they should seek election rather than legislate from the bench illegally. The article also highlights concerns about illegal migrants endangering public safety and abusing public resources, urging judges to respect the rule of law.


Eight left-wing immigration judges in “sanctuary city” New York were fired Monday as part of President Donald Trump’s purge of activist judges who refuse to enforce federal immigration laws.

The ousted jurists worked at the immigration court offices at 26 Federal Plaza, the Manhattan headquarters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to CBS News.

For multiple months, the plaza has seen left-wing riots that resulted in savage attacks against ICE officers.

More than 100 immigration judges — out of about 700 — have been fired or resigned since January across the country, according to CBS.

One of the judges who was fired Monday in New York was Amiena Khan, an assistant chief immigration judge.

Court records show that from 2019 through 2024, Khan adjudicated 620 asylum claims.

“Of these, she granted asylum for 544, granted 12 other types of relief, and denied relief to 64,” according to TRAC Immigration, a nonpartisan research group.

In other words, Khan granted asylum in a staggering 89.6 percent of asylum cases. This statistic is alarming in light of the fact that asylum fraud does occur regularly.

While Khan denied just 10.3 percent of asylum claims, other immigration judges across the country “denied 57.7 percent of asylum claims during this same period,” TRAC Immigration noted.

Predictably, Democrats and their left-wing media puppets are slamming the Trump administration, claiming the dismissals were unwarranted.

In reality, irresponsible judges are being ousted for subverting Trump’s attempted deportation of illegal aliens who endanger public safety, drain public resources, and clog U.S. courts.


Instead of obstructing presidential directives, activist judges who oppose Trump’s “America First” agenda should try to win an election if they want to rewrite U.S. laws.

Until then, they should stay in their lanes and not illegally legislate from the bench.

Unelected, rogue judges must stop wasting tax money and abusing the U.S. court system to advocate on behalf of foreign nationals.

Unlike Trump, no one voted for these subversive agitators. If they don’t like what he’s doing, they should step down or go cry about it to their therapist.
