Trump administration fires over a dozen immigration judges amid promised federal worker cuts

The Trump administration has fired over a dozen immigration judges as part of its efforts to reduce the federal workforce, coinciding with President Donald Trump's promise to trim the government's size. The move comes amid controversy surrounding the handling of asylum seekers and the treatment of migrant families at the US-Mexico border. The firings were confirmed by a union official who stated that 13 judges lost their jobs on Friday. The exact reasons behind the firings are not yet clear.
