Ousted immigration judge describes deepening court backlog

Season 2025 Episode 316 | 6m 45s

Dozens of immigration judges have been fired by the Trump administration with no explanation. From coast to coast, nearly four dozen judges have lost their positions as the courts face a record backlog. Many had worked in immigrant defense, prompting questions about whether the firings are part of the administration’s hardline approach. Geoff Bennett discussed more with former judge Emmett Soper.
