ppl better vote, there may not be a next time again to do so

These are not real judges (article III) but "immigration judges" who work in the executive branch (article II).

Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/u...

Unbelievable that Trump cs have the power to intervene in the courts! US is no democracy anymore.

Of coarse they were…and now they can be on the list too!

These cases have nothing to do with pro-Palestine or pro-Israel advocacy. They are brown immigrants with Muslim names.

But this injustice prompts 2 Qs. One, can these people challenge the dismissals? (I fear the answer is, Probably not.) And two, can evidence of these and other such firings, based on immig. judges' failure to rule as Trump demands, be evidence in appeals from the rulings of OTHER such judges?

At the end of the day, barring a courageous few, are most IJs, & IGs, just salarymen, looking to keep their jobs? www.aila.org/library/poli... tracreports.org/immigration/...

yeah that's what happens when your immigration "justice" system is just cops in a robe.

And Biden couldn’t get rid of deJoy?

Fired? Judges can be fired? Wait a second, I thought fed judges were confirmed by Congress. Yeah, that's right... Only Congress has the authority to remove an Article III judge. This is done through a vote of impeachment by the House & a trial & conviction by the Senate. Come on folks, do better!

Everything that is wrong in America, and now, everything thing that is wrong with the world is the fault of First Felon Trump and his despicable GOP enablers.

“Reshape” the courts, come TF on

And so it’s become Welcome to the United States Of Authoritarianism

I understand that there's a difference between a SCOTUS justice and an immigration judge. But it still seems like this sets a precedent that the adults are within their rights to send the Trump 6 packing once the fascists are gone.

* Trump is a insane, strait of hormuz cornered fear-bitting-rat that will not back down & will survive at any cost. This is how a Nuclear World War is started by a Jim Jones or David Koresh or Marshall Applewhite or charles Manson. And Republicans/MAGA-base/Fundamentalists WILL OWN IT. *

ALJs (and courts) need to be moved out of the executive branch

So sad.

Actually they do and will go to any lengths to thwart it.

Our government has no clue how government works.

this is a fascist regime

How can judges be fired?

So it's full authoritarianism is it?

Jesus fucking Christ.

Breaking: the justice system.

👍 Ha! we love it when something good happens!

Any future Dem president who doesn't fire every Republican who isn't legally protected is a failure. They must be purged from every level of government.

Well of course they were. We can't have independent judges. How are you supposed to run an autocracy with an independent judiciary?

Morally? Yeah. Legally? Nah.

Blanche is going for the top sycophant and toady award while undermining everything the Justice Department stands for. A Trumpian win. A loss for America.

No, I loathe all of it.

Should be

In other words, unless a judge is willing to decide the way the Orange Dementia Patient’s DOJ wants (regardless of the facts), they’re not wanted as a judge.

Absolute fascism.

When we said Joe Biden was too old to run for a second term, some of ya’ll called us “ageist” and “MAGA.” Well, here we are.

I hope they all sue the Administration.

You should stop working for the Transphobia Newspaper.

Democracy my arse

Still insane to me that there are people who say they are both anti ICE and anti Palestine/pro Israel. It’s like Trump supporters who say they love immigrants. No you don’t, Zionism and white supremacy are joined at the hip because they’re the same damn thing.

Thanks for the article! Yes, the immigration courts should be independent of the executive branch! Another abuse of power by the current pResident. @raskin.house.gov

This should halt all deportations. The government is unable to provide credible due process through immigration court now and has to fall back on article 3 courts

more fascism, they should sue

My god

Trump Justice, the Department of Justice no longer exists.

clear message

Was there a stated basis for their firings or were they fired on a whim?

😡😡😡

As they are applying policy and not law, they really shouldn't be called 'judges'. Because they aren't.

2/ intervention of the federal courts to ensure that due process is provided.

This one is directly aimed at Palestinians so I would expect very much the opposite.

Welcome to fascism

Go figure

Authoritarians do this.

Immigration judges in America work at the behest of the Attorney General so there's no judicial independence. That in itself is absolutely inane and the result is what you see here: ideological crazies fire judges.

Oh, this is bad.

Wow so they actually fulfilled their duties until the end, as opposed to preemptively quitting and publishing a self-aggrandizing letter of resignation?

😳😡

Anyone else gonna say this reporting is just crap? Examine the entire article and you will not see this: the President violated the law by removing two ALJs who ruled against his administration. SCOTUS CJ Roberts calls this retaliation and harmful to an independent judiciary. The NYT is crap.

I hope Hungary is able to oust Orban tomorrow because we must start ousting the MAGAts in November.

Democrats must declare that all IJs appointed from 2025-2028 will be summarily fired in 2029. Then they have to make IJs Senate confirmable.

Judges, like laws, are impediments under fascism and need to be replaced with those who value loyalty over the law. It only gets uglier unless it is stopped
