Nearly 100 Judges Fired: Inside the 2025 Trump Administration Immigration Court Overhaul
The Trump administration fired nearly 100 immigration judges in 2025, sparking concerns over due process. San Francisco court closures mark a major system overhaul.
The judges lost their robes, but the system lost its balance. In a sweeping move throughout 2025, the Trump administration fired nearly 100 immigration judges. According to NPR, an immigration court in San Francisco has become the latest to shut its doors as the government aggressively remakes the nation's legal infrastructure for migrants.
Trump Administration Immigration Judges Fired 2025: A Systemic Reset
The removal of nearly 100 judges signals a fundamental shift in how the United States handles immigration cases. The Trump administration's actions in 2025 appear aimed at dismantling the current due process framework to favor a more streamlined, enforcement-heavy approach. Critics argue this purge bypasses judicial independence to expedite deportations.
The Impact of the San Francisco Court Closure
The closure of the San Francisco facility highlights the tangible impact of these policy changes. By reducing the number of functional courts and presiding judges, the administration is centralizing control over the immigration docket. This has sparked intense debate over whether the system can still provide a fair hearing for those seeking asylum or legal residency.
