The U.S. Department of Justice dismissed eight immigration judges at 26 Federal Plaza, including Amiena Khan, amid a nationwide reduction in immigration judges this year.These dismissals follow earlier removals in November involving judges like Olivia Cassin and reflect a controversial enforcement strategy criticized by immigrant advocates and aligned with former President Donald Trump's policies.Despite rising arrests and deportations in New York City, the
DOJ plans to hire additional judges, including military attorneys and civilian judges with relaxed requirements, to address staffing shortages and backlog of immigration cases.
