At least eight more immigration judges were abruptly fired without cause, including three at the Chelmsford Immigration Court, which handles cases from northern New England and parts of Massachusetts.

Getting rid of judges adds to criticism of the Trump administration for not giving migrants or noncitizens enough due process before they're deported.

A federal judge in Colorado Tuesday extended her ban on the Trump administration's use of an 18th-century law to deport Venezuelan immigrants from the state and ruled federal authorities must give illegal immigrants 21 days' notice before removals.
