Staff Reports
President Donald Trump isn’t just making headlines; he’s shaking things up at the Department of Justice in a way that hasn’t been seen in years. Fresh off his campaign promise to rid the DOJ of left-wing activists, Trump announced this week that he is removing “all remaining” U.S. attorneys who were put in place by his predecessors. This move isn’t just a shake-up; it’s an earthquake in the bureaucratic landscape.
Trump took to his Truth Social account, delivering the news that he’s determined to tackle what he views as rampant politicization within the DOJ. He lamented over the previous four years and characterized the DOJ as “politicized like never before.” This claim isn’t just rhetoric; it’s a call to arms. He stated that immediate action is necessary to restore confidence in a justice system that he believes should embody fairness and integrity. This is a crucial step toward making America great again—one termination at a time.

This latest wave of firings comes on the heels of Trump’s earlier dismissal of over a dozen U.S. attorneys associated with former Special Counsel Jack Smith. If there’s a revolving door at the DOJ, it seems to be spinning faster than ever, and Trump is clearly not interested in letting anyone linger who doesn’t share his vision.
Adding to the mix, this week also saw the departure of 20 Biden-appointed immigration attorneys. While some may shed tears over these attorneys’ exit, others see it as a necessary purge. Immigration judges, technically executive employees rather than members of the judicial branch, have an enormous responsibility on their shoulders. They get to decide the fates of countless individuals, determining who stays in the U.S. and who is shown the door. Given the political biases that have plagued immigration courts, it’s no surprise that Trump is cleaning house to ensure these decisions reflect a unified stance—not a fractured ideology.
Of course, not everyone is taking these terminations in stride. Kerry Doyle, one of the dismissed attorneys, expressed her disappointment, citing the firing as politically motivated. However, her claim falls flat when considering the broader narrative of bias in the immigration system. Observers like Andrew Arthur from the Center for Immigration Studies applauded the firings, stating that they’ve been necessary to eliminate the ideological influence that has skewed asylum decisions. The wide disparities in case outcomes have raised eyebrows, and rooting out potential fraud is viewed not just as good policy but as a moral imperative.
With these changes, Trump aims to bring clarity and fairness back into the justice system. It’s not just about settling scores; it’s about ensuring that American values guide the very institutions designed to uphold justice. As the dust settles from this latest upheaval, one thing is clear: Trump’s version of a “clean house” at the DOJ promises to be as entertaining as it is turbulent.
