On Tuesday, Congressman Andy Biggs sent a letter along with 11 Republican House members to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) termination of at least a half-dozen Trump-appointed immigration judges amid a historic border crisis and rapidly growing immigration case backlog.

“Trump Derangement Syndrome is still widespread within the Biden Administration,” said Congressman Andy Biggs“The DOJ’s abrupt firing of well-qualified immigration judges during an unprecedented border crisis—likely because they were appointed by President Trump—is unacceptable.”

In the letter, Congressman Biggs demands the rationale for terminating this group of judges, who the DOJ seeks employment guidance from, and communications related to these firings. “These terminations are likely unjust and jeopardize our nation’s border security, public safety, and the integrity of our immigration system.”

“Attorney General Garland must provide us with details surrounding DOJ’s firing of Trump-appointed judges.” 

The full letter may be read here.

Co-signers include: Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI), Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX), Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL), Rep. Mary E. Miller (R-Ill), Rep. Randy K. Weber (R-TX), Rep. Andrew S. Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), and Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA).
