Trump Fires Biden-Picked Lawyers at Immigration Courts President Donald Trump’s deputies have fired more than 20 immigration lawyers from the Department of Justice, prompting an uproar in pro-migration media outlets. President Joe Biden’s deputies recently hired the lawyers to act as pro-migration judges in the nation’s immigration courts, whose roughly 700 judges are now under the control of Trump’s justice department, now headed by Pam Bondi. In 2021, Biden fired some of the lawyers Trump had hired for his immigration courts, just as President Barack Obama fired some of the lawyers hired by his predecessor, President George W. Bush. One of the fired Biden-picked lawyers, Kerry Doyle, had worked in Biden’s administration where she directed that officials stop deportation cases against up to 300,000 migrants. “I can’t say I was surprised this happened. I was expecting it,” Doyle wrote on LinkedIn. “This firing was political,” said Doyle, who worked for Biden’s zealously pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, as he welcomed roughly nine million migrants across the southern border. The media’s uproar tends to obscure deeper problems in the courts, noted Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge working for the Center for Immigration Studies.
Good riddance to the importers of criminals. Doge and Trump are floating the idea of refund checks going to everyone. The more money Doge can clawback, the more the refund.
