Trump-appointed immigration judges denying asylum in Chicago courts
Original: Trump's immigration judges (who work for the executive branch) aren't granting asylum in Chicago immigration courts now,
Immigration judges in Chicago, who answer to the executive branch, have nearly stopped granting asylum, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The report says it is now almost impossible for asylum seekers to win their cases in the city's immigration courts, fueling concerns about political pressure on the court system.
Why now: Critics see it as evidence of the Trump administration exerting control over immigration courts to block asylum claims.
