Trump Admin Overhauls Immigration Courts, Promises Tougher Enforcement
TL;DR Summary
The White House says President Trump has overhauled immigration courts by replacing activist judges with enforcement-focused professionals, leading to a drop in asylum grants to about 7% and a surge in removals (nearly 500,000 in FY2025, up 57%), while the court backlog is being reduced and the administration claims over three million undocumented immigrants have left the U.S. this term, with border releases at zero for 11 consecutive months.
