A dozen House Republicans are seeking answers from the Justice Department over the ousting of Trump-era immigration judges, amid concerns from the judges' union.

Fox News Digital reported last month that multiple judges appointed in the latter days of the Trump administration, and whose two-year probationary periods are now up, are being removed -- with ousted judges telling Fox they believe it is because they are out of step with the administration’s immigration views.
Typically, the vast majority are moved to a non-probationary position. The DOJ did not say how many have recently been let go at the end of their probationary periods. A spokesperson for the DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review told Fox News Digital that it does not comment on personnel matters.
