The Trump administration fired yet another San Francisco immigration judge, the sixth judge from the city’s immigration court who’s been terminated since he took office in January.
According to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the firing, San Francisco immigration Judge Shira Levine was let go on Wednesday, less than two weeks after immigration Judge Chloe Dillon was terminated in August.
“Another experienced judge has been fired without cause,” said a former colleague with firsthand knowledge of the order. “The administration is systematically dismantling the immigration courts and any semblance of due process in immigration proceedings.”
Wednesday’s firing means nearly 30% of San Francisco’s immigration judges have been let go since Trump took office.
