@japdmedia26: Former San Francisco immigration Judge Chloe Dillon has filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department, alleging she was wrongfully fired for challenging ICE tactics. ​Dillon states she reported concerns after sending an email to her supervisor stating ICE "unlawfully detained an unaccompanied minor" following a hearing in her court. She was terminated two days later without cause or notice, which she argues violated her "constitutional due process rights" based on her "perceived political views." ​Speaking out on the case, Dillon stated, "It is important for people to know that the immigration courts no longer exist as an unbiased forum," adding, "This issue reaches everyone—if not personally, someone in their community is undoubtedly affected by immigration." ​Her lawsuit against Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Executive Office for Immigration Review also challenges policy directives, noting, "First, the idea that ICE motions to change venue should always be granted is contrary to law and offends due process," and "Second, ICE arrests at courthouses—particularly of an unaccompanied minor who had rights under a DOJ settlement agreement—endanger everyone and disrupt the orderly conduct of the court." Government officials called her claims "patently false." ​ Should immigration judges have protected independence when questioning enforcement practices inside courthouses? ​#SanFrancisco #USA #ChloeDillon #ToddBlanche #japd
