A conservative administration does not need to guess where Ameina Khan stands on the prompt deportation of illegal aliens, she is already clearly on the record advocating against efforts that might enable rapid deportation of illegal aliens. When the Trump administration worked to reform the process where illegal aliens were able to stay indefinitely in the United States while rogue judges placed their immigration proceedings on indefinite holds, Khan strenuously objected. Specifically Khan came to the defense of a rogue immigration judge who had blocked deportation of illegal immigrants who refused to show up for their trial.

In its grievance, the judges’ union focused on a case involving Reynaldo Castro-Tum, a Guatemalan national who arrived in 2014 as a 17-year-old unaccompanied minor. Castro-Tum’s current whereabouts are unknown, and he had not responded to recent court summonses. Morley temporarily closed his case in 2016, ordering the Justice Department to ensure that Castro-Tum was receiving the notices. He did the same with other similar cases. Prosecutors appealed Morley’s decision, and the case eventually came to the attention of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who chose to review it in January. Sessions concluded that Morley was wrong to close Castro-Tum’s case and ordered it resolved within two weeks.

Illegal aliens who refuse to show up for their immigration court case, is exactly the scenario that the nation will encounter if a conservative administration takes office. Active deportation orders should be in effect and ready to be executed when a conservative administration takes office, unfortunately, Judge Kahn has made it clear she wants no part of that.

Amiena Khan, a New York-based immigration judge who is the union’s vice president, said the intervention further raised suspicions that the administration is looking to circumvent the judicial process and move to deport people faster amid a backlog of some 600,000cases.“This is another transparent way, surprisingly transparent in this instance, for the agency to come in and re-create the ideology of this whole process more towards a law enforcement ideology,” Khan said.

The fact that there is a judge working for DOJ who opposes a “law enforcement ideology” should deeply trouble anyone who is looking to secure the border and undo the effects of illegal immigration.

Amiena Khan was the President of the National Association of Immigration Judges, a union that is a member of the AFL-CIO, one of the largest left-wing labor organization in the country. The union is more interested in playing a role as an advocate for illegal immigration than they are in promptly removing unlawful aliens.

“Part of the job of an immigration judge is to educate the public about the immigration courts and the role they play in society,” Judge A. Ashley Tabaddor, president of the National Association of Immigration Judges, said in a statement. “This policy prevents us from doing this critical work, undermining public understanding of and trust in the immigration courts in the process.”

Labor unions are deeply problematic in the federal workforce, often stymieing efforts to increase the efficiency of and effective hiring of a federal workforce. They are even more problematic for a cadre of lawyers who are paid nearly $200,000 per year and are under little threat of exploitation by their employer.
