The disgruntled judges claimed they were politically pressured by the Trump Administration to grant motions to dismiss cases.“It was arbitrary, unfair,” George Pappas told CBS News of his abrupt firing. “And it’s an attack on the rule of law. It’s an attack on judges.”“My email was three sentences,” Jennifer Peyton whined. “I had no cause. I had no explanation.”“We as judges, were in fear, we were concerned,” Carla Espinoza said. “That makes it very difficult to be impartial. We were not succumbing to that pressure but it does feel like pressure.”Payton whined that once the illegal alien left the courtroom, ICE would handcuff them and whisk them away.WATCH:Former immigration judges are speaking out after sudden firings by the Trump administration, alleging political pressure and threats to due process in an already overwhelmed court system.
