In recent days, a panel of experts from the UN Human Rights Council expressed concern following the removal of 100 immigration judges from the Department of Justice after initiatives by the Trump administration. Members of the Department, this group of judges focuses primarily on judging cases that encompass the immigration sphere, such as deportation hearings, asylum applications, and other cases within this scope.

This concern from the United Nations is another chapter in the turbulent immigration policy adopted since Donald Trump's return to the White House in January of last year. Since then, the country has plunged into controversial moments, especially marked by the strengthening of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), which has begun to carry out several detention operations around the country, combined with an intensification of deportations. However, it is necessary to understand that this initiative is part of the White House's program to favor its agenda, considering, for example, some major setbacks in other spheres of power, such as the Supreme Court.

A few weeks ago, the country's main court voted in favor of maintaining the right to the city through Jus Solis in the US, going against the federal government. Furthermore, it is worth highlighting the arrival of the Midterm elections, which could take the Senate and Congress out of the hands of the Republicans. Therefore, it is likely that the administration will prioritize rapid changes to ensure the MAGA agenda until the election, aiming to fulfill promises, even if this affects the country's current immigration management.

United Nations experts consider that these removals "affect the independence of immigration courts and the justice system" with "immediate" and "severe" consequences for the country, marking a warning sign for the future of the US. In other words, the United States Department of Justice, as well as other federal government agencies, is undergoing further structural changes stemming from the current Trump administration. The effects of these removals are likely to be immediate, and only time will tell who is affected and how American immigration will definitively change in this new scenario.
