These judges worked at the immigration court offices located at 26 Federal Plaza, ICE&#8217;s headquarters in Manhattan, a site that has experienced left-wing protests and violence against ICE officers.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Critics, including Democrats and left-leaning media, oppose the firings, but the article defends the Trump governance&#8217;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 <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >illegal migrants endangering public safety<\/a> and abusing public resources, urging judges to respect the rule of law.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Eight left-wing immigration judges in &ldquo;sanctuary city&rdquo; New York were fired Monday as part of President Donald Trump&rsquo;s purge of activist judges who refuse to enforce federal immigration laws.<\/p>\n<p>The ousted jurists worked at the immigration court offices at 26 Federal Plaza, the Manhattan headquarters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/trump-purges-immigration-judges-mass-161253261.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For multiple months, the plaza has seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/widespread-anti-ice-violence-escalates-ice-office-evacuated-suspicious-white-powder-arrives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-circuit-breaker-on-election-night\/\" title=\"The question looms: just how does it come to be that three quarters of Republican and nearly one third of Democrat voters all believe that the election was stolen from Trump?\">left-wing riots<\/a><\/a> that resulted in savage attacks against ICE officers.<\/p>\n<p>More than 100 immigration judges &mdash; out of about 700 &mdash; have been fired or resigned since January across the country, according to CBS.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#128680; WOW!
