FIRED: DOJ cuts NY immigration judge who greenlit 97% of asylum claims
 
Thomas Stevenson
Feb 21, 2026
 
The Department of Justice has fired New York's most lenient immigration judges, who would approve asylum claims for those coming to the US 97 percent of the time. 

Judge Vivienne Gordon-Uruakpa, a now ex-immigration judge, would approve asylum claims 97 percent of the time, which is more than any other immigration judge in the entire state of New York, per the New York Post. She was terminated from her public position in September, a government official told reporters. 


Ezoic


Gordon-Uruakpa's name is no longer on the website for the courthouse where she used to serve as an immigration judge. The DOJ said that the website is "up to date" with the current staff. The firing of Gordon-Uruakpa appears to be part of a wider effort to nix lenient immigration judges under the Trump administration. 

Immigration judges are hired as well as fired at the word of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Instead of tenured judges, immigration judges are just lawyers who work in the capacity to determine what happens in immigration cases. There have been over 100 immigration judges fired during Trump's second term as president, and the DOJ has posted job applications for those looking to become immigration judges.

It makes me wonder why she would deny asylum?  Because they seemed like they might be too pro America? :whistle:

LOL!  Mentally, I gave her the benefit of any doubt...that they were probably face-tattooed cretins...stone-cold killers. :laugh:

The question is why did she approve the asylum requests she did?

Here's maybe an answer - The largest group of asylum seekers appearing before Judge Gordon-Uruakpa came from China. Individuals from this country made up 40.5% of her caseload. Other nationalities in descending order of frequency appearing before Judge Gordon-Uruakpa were: India (10.9%), Bangladesh (6.7%), Nepal (5.7%), El Salvador (5.5%).

BTW, from the looks of this judge, my bet is it is not a woman at all. Here's a comparison with how a real woman looks like.

Yep, China found its honeypot it can use to infiltrate us, and the judge undoubtedly took the cash.

A win/win for that arrangement.

And the US is the loser in the deal.
