ANOTHER GOP PURGE OF BIA JUDGES AS TRUMP REMOVES AT LEAST 9 GARLAND APPOINTEES

Hon. Paul W. Schmidt, Jan. 30, 2025

Courtside has realized that the next eight Garland-appointed BIA Appellate Immigration Judges have been “reassigned” to workers positions: Geller, LeMelle, Kludt, Reilly, Brown, Nahas, Clark, and Borkowski. A ninth, unidentified AIJ was positioned on “administrative depart.” The reassignments of those key quasi-judicial officers seems to be associated to a memo despatched to all company heads from OPM on Jan. 20, stating: “No later than January 24, 2025, businesses ought to establish all workers on probationary durations, who’ve served lower than a 12 months in a aggressive service appointment, or who’ve served lower than two years in an excepted service appointment, and ship a report back to OPM itemizing all such workers to employeeaccountability@opm.gov, with a duplicate to Amanda Scales at amanda.scales@opm.gov. As well as, businesses ought to promptly decide whether or not these workers must be retained on the company.” Count on additional weaponization of EOIR in opposition to due course of and elementary equity (that are EOIR’s precise mission)!”
