Administration's Deportation Push and Judicial Cuts

Trump administration fired immigration judges Roopal Patel and Nina Froes for dismissing deportation cases against pro-Palestinian students.
Students Rumeysa Ozturk (Tufts) and Mohsen Mahdawi (Columbia) were targeted for deportation over pro-Palestinian views.
Patel granted asylum in 41.5% of cases, Froes in 33%, higher than the 18% average, leading to claims of bias.
Board of Immigration Appeals rejected Mahmoud Khalil's appeal, advancing his deportation.
Over 100 immigration judges have resigned or been fired since Trump took office.
