In a controversial move, the Trump administration has terminated several immigration judges, including those who ruled against the deportation of pro-Palestinian students and activists. The firings come amid a broader crackdown on immigration courts, signifying a departure from previous amnesty policies. Reports indicate that the administration aims to expedite deportations by replacing judges who resist such directives. Critics argue that this creates a climate of fear among remaining judges, leading to a significant decline in asylum acceptance rates, which have plummeted to as low as 7% under current immigration policies.
