A fired immigration judge described the firings as a “Monday afternoon massacre.”
“The court has been eviscerated,” Olivia Cassin, another immigration judge who was fired in November told The New York Times. “It feels like a Monday afternoon massacre.”
More than 100 immigration judges have been fired or resigned since President Trump took office this year.

In July, 20 immigration judges were fired.
A few of the federal immigration judges recently fired by the Trump Administration over e-mail lashed out at Trump in an interview with CBS Evening News.
Three of the fired judges – George Pappas, Jennifer Peyton and Carla Espinoza – spoke to CBS about their terminations. The disgruntled judges claimed they were politically pressured by the Trump Administration to grant motions to dismiss cases.

“It was arbitrary, unfair,” George Pappas told CBS News of his abrupt firing. “And it’s an attack on the rule of law. It’s an attack on judges.”
“My email was three sentences,” Jennifer Peyton whined. “I had no cause. I had no explanation.”
“We as judges, were in fear, we were concerned,” Carla Espinoza said. “That makes it very difficult to be impartial. We were not succumbing to that pressure but it does feel like pressure.”
Payton whined that once the illegal alien left the courtroom, ICE would handcuff them and whisk them away.
