Two former immigration judges have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging they were discriminated against in their removal from their positions.

The lawsuit challenges the circumstances surrounding their dismissal from the immigration court system, which operates under the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review.

Immigration judges are responsible for hearing cases involving individuals in removal proceedings and making determinations about asylum claims, deportation orders, and other immigration matters. The judges serve at the discretion of the Attorney General.

The former judges' complaint alleges discriminatory practices in their removal, though specific details of the discrimination claims were not immediately available. The case represents a challenge to personnel decisions within the immigration court system during the Trump administration.

The Department of Justice has not yet publicly responded to the lawsuit. The case adds to ongoing scrutiny of immigration enforcement policies and personnel decisions during the Trump presidency.
