immigration judges

President Donald Trump’s new immigration judges are far more likely to reject migrants’ requests for asylum than are the judges prior presidents picked.

The Trump administration has reportedly taken steps to decertify the National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ) union that has been critical of the president and his policies in the past. 

Appearing Monday on CNN’s New Day, John Sandweg, a former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the Obama administration, referred to President Donald Trump’s proposal to eliminate immigration judges as “the single dumbest idea I have ever heard.”

Immigration expert Jessica Vaughan advised Donald Trump to pressure Mexico against allowing entry to migrant caravans travelling to the U.S.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions spoke to 44 new immigration judges, the largest class ever, Monday at Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia.

President Donald Trump, in a series of Thursday morning tweets, called on Congress to send all illegal aliens home without “long and costly” trials. “FIX OUR INSANE IMMIGRATION LAWS NOW!” he urged Congress.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions exercised his authority Monday as the ultimate reviewer of the immigration court system to overrule a series of Obama era decisions that were allowing the radical expansion of the American asylum system.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a sweeping restriction Thursday on so-called “administrative closures” in the immigration courts that often allow aliens facing deportation to remain in the country indefinitely as their cases fall off the docket, never to be rescheduled.

Immigrant groups are claiming that an additional 28 members of the “migrant caravan” have been allowed to cross through the port of entry in San Ysidro, California. This brings the total who have reportedly crossed to 53.
