Immigration judges sue over mass firings at DOJ

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — A group of recently appointed immigration judges who were fired en masse have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
 
The 13 judges, who were fired Feb. 14, are alleging that the terminations were an illegal reduction in force that violated civil service protections and due process under federal law. The lawsuit alleges the firings also could hurt their future employment.

They had been appointed between December and January and completed a selection process and had reported to their court assignments when they were terminated by the Executive Office for Immigration Review.
 
 
They were among 20 immigration judges who were fired in February that the Department of Justice said were considered probationary employees.

EOIR has said the reductions were part of an effort to cut federal government costs.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Why are there judges in the Executive Branch?

Sounds like a conflict of interest between functions of two different branches of Government.  How can the Branch of Government that executes laws be the same that sits in judgement of those laws?

Numerous Federal and state agencies have administrative law judges who are supposed to handle questions about how their agencies conduct themselves. It's a cost saving measure that becomes questionable when these judges become rubber stamps and then try to prohibit appeals of their own actions.
