The Department of Justice (DOJ) fired two immigration judges for blocking the removal of foreign students. The students in question were slated for removal after being deemed potential national security and public safety risk by immigration authorities. The move marks the latest instance of the government firing a judge.
Both judges blocked the removal of two foreign students by the government. According to ABC, both students were detained due to their involvement with the protests that swept American colleges in 2024. However, it’s uncertain whether the government fired the judges for that specific reason. The duo is part of the one hundred and thirteen immigration judges fired by the government in the past year.
