DOJ FIRES S.F. IMMIGRATION JUDGE WITH 96% ASYLUM GRANT RATE; PART OF 50+ JUDGE PURGE

Mission Local reports DOJ terminated Judge Chloe S. Dillon from San Francisco Immigration Court, where TRAC data shows she granted asylum in ~96.5% of cases. Her removal follows multiple Bay Area judge firings and a national wave under the Trump administration exceeding 50 judges this year. The piece ties the firings to concerns about politicized oversight of EOIR and notes concurrent ICE arrests of asylum-seekers outside SF courtrooms, raising due-process and backlog implications.
