Trump's Trigger-Happy Deportation Chief Reveals Wild Plans for New Social Media 'Judges'

Donald Trump’s new deportation chief has lifted the lid on his aggressive plans to race through millions of backlogged immigration cases.

Retired Marine Colonel Daren Margolin says he’s now received more than 1,700 applications from people responding to social media ads for “deportation judge” vacancies at his office. He told Axios he’d already interviewed the first cohort, who he expects to begin work before the end of the month.

Marketed online under the banner “YOU BE THE JUDGE,” listings available on the Justice Department website suggest applicants for these positions actually need only be a licensed attorney, with an undergraduate degree and some “qualifying” litigation experience.

Rates of pay for the vacancies at Margolin’s office range between $160,000 and $210,000, marked up by a 25 percent “recruitment incentive” for first time federal employees, with “potential for remote and intermittent/full-time telework.”

H.R.7634 - To amend title 28, United States Code, to provide for a limitation on the nationality of persons eligible to serve as judges of the United States.

This had better not pass, they should not even bring it up for a vote. Racist Pigs!
