In this latest destructive move to undermine the immigration courts, the Trump Administration is reviving a long-abandoned rule to allow temporary immigration judges with no background in immigration law.

This alarming development is another example of the administration’s singular focus of creating a hostile environment for all immigrants and their attorneys. Instead of solutions for the American people, they are closing America’s doors to the world.

For 30 years, across 5 Presidents, the “plain language” of the statute at issue was universally read to hold the opposite of this new ruling. The only thing that has changed is the increasing willingness of the immigration courts to follow Donald Trump instead of the law.

Every American should be gravely concerned that the nation’s highest court has given a green light to racial profiling.

There was no legitimate reason to terrorize H-1B workers and alarm their employers causing 24 hours of panic. The failure to provide a legally sound proclamation and the haphazard messaging caused unnecessary chaos and fear along with human and material cost.
