description
Case Summary
A former federal immigration judge in Concord is suing the Trump administration, claiming she was ousted from her position because she’s an older female Democrat with a history of advocating for immigrants. Department of Justice claims the agency terminated her in July amid a wave of removals targeting women and proponents of immigrants’ rights. All six female immigration judges in the Concord Immigration Court were removed around the same time, Lilien’s lawsuit alleges. “If you support the President politically, you get a job, you get to keep the job,” said Kevin Owen, a lawyer for Lilien.
