President Trump is purging the immigration court system. About 140 immigration judges have been fired by the administration or resigned. Meanwhile, the case backlog is growing.  What does it mean for immigrants caught in the middle? We speak with one of the judges recently let go. The firings are part of an ongoing effort by the White House to overhaul the U.S. immigration system. Now, those judges are being replaced by “deportation judges.” For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at<a href="http://plus.npr.org/"target="_blank" > plus.npr.org</a>.
