Trump Fires Immigration Court Officials

“The acting head of the U.S. immigration court system and three other top officials were fired on Monday soon after President Trump took office, in a purge of the top echelon of a critical part of the government’s immigration system,” the New York Times reports.

“The abrupt removals signaled that the Trump administration wants to remake the immigration court system, which is housed under the Justice Department, as part of a broader immigration crackdown that Mr. Trump began within minutes of being sworn in for his second term.”
