(THE HILL)Our immigration courts no longer offer even the veneer of fairness

Summary
The article argues that the Trump administration is undermining the independence of U.S. immigration courts and weakening the constitutional right to due process for both immigrants and citizens. Although the Fifth Amendment guarantees fair legal procedures to everyone on U.S. soil, the author contends that recent immigration policies have eroded these protections.

According to the article, the Department of Justice has aligned immigration courts with the administration's mass deportation agenda by allowing ICE to make arrests at courthouses and encouraging judges to dismiss cases in ways that facilitate removals. The Board of Immigration Appeals is also criticized for consistently issuing rulings that favor immigration enforcement while making it more difficult for immigrants to obtain legal protection. At the same time, appeal fees have increased sharply, making judicial review less accessible.

The author further argues that the dismissal of more than 100 experienced immigration judges and their replacement with less experienced personnel has increased political pressure on the courts. With asylum denial rates reaching record highs, the article calls for immigration courts to be removed from the Department of Justice, judges to be protected from political interference, and due process to be fully restored. It concludes that weakening these legal safeguards threatens the rights of everyone living in the United States, not just immigrants.
