A controversial immigration judge appointed by former President Joe Biden, who once ordered immigration and customs enforcement agents to drop all their affairs, has fired her under President Donald Trump.
Judge Kerry Doyle, who worked from Massachusetts, was one of the more than 20 immigration rights that were abruptly fired without explanation.
She claimed WGBH that she has just received an e -mail from the Executive Office of Immigration Review that said that the agency has established that retaining you is not in the best interest in the agency. '
After receiving the e -mail, Doyle announced her termination on LinkedIn.
'I had not publicly posted that I started working as a [immigration judge] Hoping to keep my head down and just go to work and avoid having a bullseye on me, “she posted on Friday.
“Unfortunately I couldn't avoid the political pink slip.”
She further claimed that all dismissed immigration judges – who do not have the same protection against shooting as federal judges who are appointed and confirmed by the Senate – were hired during the Biden government.
“The firing was political,” she argued.

She shared the news about her LinkedIn and complained to her termination as 'politics'
But she continued to say that she was not surprised by the e -mail, after she had appeared on a 'watchlist' website 'Watchlist' on a Homeland Security department at the end of last year and who called her a 'target'.
It was critical of her appointment under Biden as the most important legal adviser for ICE, writing that Doyle has a 'lifelong commitment to open boundaries and mass migration,' says Masslive.
In her position as the most important legal adviser, Doyle had come under fire for a memo in which she ordered ice officers to dismiss older cases of immigrants who do not form threats of public safety in the midst of an increase in illegal immigration on the southern border.
'The exercise of public prosecutors, where necessary, can retain limited government resources, achieve just and honest results in individual cases and the mission of DHS to manage and maintain the immigration laws of the United States in a smart and sensible way Promote trust, “Doyle wrote at the time.
According to BuzzFeed, a spokesperson for ICE repeated that the memorandum allows ice lawyers to exercise a public prosecutor and claimed that it would help to build the trust of the public in our immigration system.
'In accordance with enforcement guidance issued by Secretary Mayorkas, ICE focuses its priorities for civil immigration enforcement on the fear and removal of non-citizens who pose a threat to our national security, public security and border protection, in accordance with all legal requirements and applicable judicial orders, “said the spokesperson.
Following Doyle, more than 350,000 migrants who entered the US illegally were rejected their affairs of the court's immigration, making them free without an opinion on the merits of their entry.
She had previously also helped in leading a judicial challenge against Trump's travel ban for people from several Muslim majority countries.
The decision to dismiss her was taken by the Trump government, which sent her an e -mail stating that the executive office for immigration evaluation has established that retaining you is not in the best interest of the agency '
Nevertheless, Doyle claimed to WGBH that none of the dismissed judges' was there to manage a political agenda.
“We were there to do our work,” she said, claiming that the Trump government's decision to dismiss immigration rights, will undermine the belief of the nation in the immigration system.
“When you start making it politics, it really blows up the system and blows the faith of people in the system.”
Doyle noted that many judges in the Boston area have served in several administrations at Immigration Court, with the argument that those appointed to fulfill the roles do not act in a partisse way.
“It would be problematic to be political, because what officials do is that they serve the public – we have sought an oath to the constitution.”

Among the immigration fees that were fired, 13 were recently hired in their position and had not yet been sworn, according to the ABA Journal.
Five others were assistant -chief immigration rights.
Their endings came only a few days before Trump ordered all 'Biden Era' American lawyers to be fired in an attempt to 'recover trust' at the Ministry of Justice.
'In the past four years, the Ministry of Justice has been politized like never before. That is why I have dedicated the termination of all remaining '' Biden Era '' American lawyers', Trump wrote on his social report.
He demanded: 'We must recover' 'clean house' immediately and confidence. The Golden Age of America must have a fair legal system – that starts today! '
It is unclear whether the termination of immigration rights are related to the mandate, but the dismissal has expressed concern that the great disadvantage of immigration cases will take longer to erase – as the federation of professional and technical engineers President Matthew Biggs pointed out that A single judge can make a decision every year for 500 to 700 cases.
“Look up the definition of” hypocrisy, “” he poke wgbh. “It's” if someone says one but does the other. '
“Defendering immigration judges when we need more judges to maintain our immigration laws through this administration is a perfect example of hypocrisy,” said Briggs, whose organization represents nearly 700 immigration rights.
For her part, Doyle was already preparing to take over the case from a colleague who had just left the legal system when she was fired, which means that some of those things will probably be pulled longer.
“Those things will have to be handed out to all other judges,” she said. “So it's even more work for them.”
She added that the Trump government needs every judge, every available person.
“And so it will simply make the court more overloaded.”
The redundancies have expressed concern that the great backlog of immigration cases will take longer to erase
But this is not the first time that a new presidential administration has fired judges.
In 2021, judge Marna Rusher, who was hired by Trump, was fired shortly after Biden took office.
However, Doyle seemed to have less problem with that decision and said it was less likely to be 'politically motivated'.
“Maybe it's a gravy that every president wants his imprimatur and people who will follow his agenda,” she said.
“I don't think I would call that politically motivated if they think they have a better idea for America and people who come across the border.”
