Immigration judges quit in response to administration policies [edited title]

I find this CNN article quite interesting

The reasons why individual judges have moved on from their posts on the bench vary, but in interviews with judges who left in recent months, one theme ties them all together: frustration over a mounting number of policy changes that, they argue, chipped away at their authority.

In other words, they are quitting because they think their commander in chief is cray cray.

A valiant effort, but wrong.

 

"frustration over a mounting number of policy changes that, they argue, chipped away at their authority"

Judges who have since left the department expressed similar concern over those policies. Dornell called the situation "intolerable."

 

In other words, judges (federal gov bureaucrats) serving under the President upset because the President exercises his constitutional authority to make policy.

 

Looks like the swamp is getting drained.

He took their power away, and now they are taking their toys and leaving.  Seems about right!
