"Dozens of immigration courts around the country are facing vacancies, creating potential bottlenecks to proper due process for people President Trump wants to deport.
The Trump administration fired over two dozen immigration judges during the president's first month in office.
Those firings come on top of the 100 people who were laid off, decided to retire early, or took advantage of offers to resign within immigration courts. The judicial vacancies exacerbate millions of backlogged cases already piled up in those immigration courts.
Labor and immigration advocates are raising questions over how an already over-subscribed court system is supposed to facilitate Trump's mass deportation goals.
"It begs the question of: does this administration believe that the immigrants deserve their due process?" Biggs asked. "It's limited due process, albeit, but it's due process.""

I think Trump has answered that question.
Its probably not unusual for a tyrant to hobble government services so badly that he "has no choice" but to rule by decree.
Incompetence hides the corruption.
