All Immigration Judges Should Quit

George Pappas spent twenty years as an immigration attorney before becoming an immigration judge in 2023. Two years later, he was fired by email — three sentences, no explanation, the same day as a dozen colleagues around the country. Pappas has advocated for all immigration judges to quit since they are working within a corrupt and broken system.

In this episode, we break down Pappas's account, the data behind the wave of judicial firings and resignations, why immigration courts sit inside the Department of Justice rather than the independent judiciary, and the argument for — and against — mass resignation as a form of protest.
