But with O'Brien At least one other judge was recently relinquished at the end of their probationary period. O'Brien said he believes that up to 10 other people in similar positions have been dismissed, although the exact number could not be confirmed.

The DOJ did not confirm the number of people recently released at the end of the trial period. A DOJ immigration spokesman said he did not comment on personnel issues. The Washington Times, which first reported on O'Brien's case, said at least half a dozen judges had been dismissed.

590 immigration inspectors are sitting, and the Ministry of Justice has decided on the careers of civil servants, including immigration inspectors, performance and they were hired by the theater. It has no role in decision making, which says it is based solely on government.

However, O'Brien said he had been attacked by an unfortunate immigration lawyer from the moment he stood on the bench in June 2020. 

"As soon as I sat down on the bench, the first thing I heard was a claim of repulsion, such as page 30 or page 40. This is entirely legal. Inaccurately,deliberately mistakenly quoted the case law andmisrepresented what I said. "Judge O'Brien is a white supremacist and works at FAIR. I think I should resign because I was a Nazi. " So it all started.

Since then, there have been about 50 or 60 allegations against him, which was exacerbated when the Biden administration took office, he said.

As soon as theBiden administrationtook over, we were told about all sorts of completely unfounded things. It was the subject of a coordinated attack campaign to complain. "

He accused EOIR of "opaque" grievance. This does not give the judge due process and puts the judge in a "guilty until proven innocent" situation.

"Some suffering lawyers who do not like the decisions they make in cases that may have had no merit in the first place can complain about the judge, and then Nothing happens except to harass the judge, "he said. "So the judge needs to write a reply ... and it goes into a black hole, and no one tells anyone but the lawyer who complains, so they tell the judge in writing about it. Don't give a decision. They don't speak. Tell the judge and what happened to them. "

"I said that there is. But he said nothing was done. He believes that he and his colleagues were Trump's appointed men. He also denied that he was an immigrant extremist.

"I am a person of law and order, and never said that anything other than immigration law should be enforcedWritten by CongressWe It is a constitutional republic. It is the responsibility of the legislature to enact immigration laws, and it is the responsibility of the executive department to enforce them in writing, rather than watering them down to overrun political members. "O'Brien said.

He also had more cases completed than most judges who had been there for much longer, even between a pandemic where he and his colleagues undertook extra work. Say it.

"There was a judge who worked for a radical alien aid organization, and he was an incompetent Bahoon with problems such as alcoholism, sexual harassment, and default." Said.

"In the meantime, we happened to be in a very undefined trial period and they seemed to fire us because we did the right job.

He said his dismissal would come as the Biden administration suffered from a large amount of unprocessed portion as the crisis at the southern border continued.

If there is a backlog that is trying to reduce by dismissing and it is too big to open a new immigration court, why do they abandon a fully competent judge? The only conclusion is These people are Trump's appointed persons, to consider conservative political causes or ... [ha] cases, and no, to determine that this person does not meet the standards under the law. It'sbecause it's particularly good, and I deny them. "
