Meet Tania Nemer, Fired Immigration Judge Suing Trump Admin Amid Purge of Immigration Court System

Former immigration judge Tania Nemer, who was fired in February, is now suing the Trump administration, alleging that she was discriminated against despite strong performance reviews. Nemer is one of about 100 immigration judges who have been fired or reassigned since Trump took office. The system is notoriously backlogged, with more than 3 million cases pending. “I was pulled away in the middle of the hearing,” she says. Nemer filed a discrimination complaint with the Department of Justice, which officials dismissed, citing Article II of the Constitution on presidential powers. “I’ve been practicing employment law and representing federal employees for almost 30 years, and I have never seen a federal agency dismiss a complaint for this reason,” says Nemer’s attorney, James Eisenmann.

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals has 4 active justices appointed by Republicans and 7 appointed by Democrats. Yet the Republicans have dominated most of the emergency three-judge panels this year. It's numerically possible for this to happen but, as far as I can tell, improbable. Is it paranoid to wonder how random these assignments have been?

900 Department of Justice alumni have warned the U.S. Senate against appointing ex-Trump lawyer Emil Bove to the appellate court. "We are all alarmed by DOJ leadership's recent deviations from constitutional principles and institutional guardrails," the former department employees wrote, adding that Bove had "disgraced" the department. The letter, dated July 16, was signed by officials from as far back as the Kennedy administration. Tomorrow, the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on whether to advance Bove's nomination to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Circuit. He will serve a lifetime appointment if confirmed.

"After 40 years on the federal bench, Judge William G. Young recently experienced what he viewed as a career first, and it didn’t sit well with him.

“I have never seen government racial discrimination like this,” Judge Young said on Monday, excoriating the Trump administration in a lengthy speech from the U.S. District Court in Boston."

Wonkette's Marcie Jones takes a closer look at the MAGApublicans "Big Beautiful Bill for Billionaires," and finds much to be alarmed about:
"Much has been made of how the Big Beautiful Blowjobs for Billionaires bill is the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the rich of all time. Which it is! But also in this 1,082-page treasure trove of goodies are two sections that fulfill the wildest dreams of a certain aspiring dictator and his technocrat henchbuddies: stripping power from the judiciary and mandating an AI dystopia that could effectively make government services cease to function, among other terrible things!"

“House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who plans to hold a hearing focused on Boasberg and district judges next week, said he’s speaking with GOP appropriators about what he called ‘legislative remedies.’

‘We got money, spending, the appropriations process to help try to address some of this,’ Jordan said, without adding further details.”

“Congress has eliminated courts in the past. In 1913, for example, Congress abolished the Commerce Court and its judges were redistributed to the federal appeals court, according to Congress.gov. And in 1982, Congress passed legislation abolishing the Article III Court of Claims and U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, and established the Article I Court of Federal Claims and the Article III U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.”

“…Speaker (of the House) Mike Johnson, R-La… floated the possibility of Congress eliminating some federal courts.

‘We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things,’ Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. ‘But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.’”
