The Trump administration has fired eight immigration judges in New York in what one judge called a "a Monday afternoon massacre." The move comes as the White House has been battling in courts over their deportation programs.
In case after case, judges have fought to keep illegal immigrants in the country while the administration has sought their removal. Immigration courts come under the purview of the Department of Justice.
There are three immigration courts in New York City. Protesters have been gathering at the courts to prevent deportations and arrests by immigration officials. These agitators have also attempted to block ICE raids, where agents go into an area specifically to arrest illegal immigrant criminals.
