DoJ Closes San Francisco Immigration Court
🗽 Immigration · Second Term (2025–present) · 🤖 AI-categorized
The Department of Justice shuttered the San Francisco immigration court on Montgomery Street, a facility that handled a significant portion of Bay Area immigration cases. The closure, slated for January 2027, follows the firing of 20 of the court's 22 judges. Critics argue the closure will worsen the already massive immigration case backlog and create chaos, while the Trump administration claims it is cost-effective.
