Hello everyone, I realized I have stopped greeting you all, so I am trying to do that again. However, I make no promises that I will remember again. I could bore you with complaining about my midterms, but I would rather you just view and read our website in order to procrastinate.
Stay golden,

Case backlog mounts at St. Paul immigration court following judge’s firing

The Executive Office for Immigration Review fired Fort Snelling immigration judge Amy Zaske last month, immigration court sources confirmed to the Minnesota Daily.
In April, the court held the deportation trial of University of Minnesota international graduate student Doğukan Gunaydin, who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for over a month.
Zaske’s firing comes during a time of nationwide dismissals of immigration judges by EOIR, which cites the executive branch’s authority under Article Two of the Constitution. A spokesperson for EOIR declined to comment, saying the office does not comment on personnel matters.
