A Justice Department watchdog said immigration judges in the United States are increasingly facing doxing attacks that spread sensitive personal information and could intimidate them. The warning came in a Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General report released Tuesday, which said officials are struggling to address the problem as threats have risen during President Donald Trump's mass-deportation campaign.
Why it matters: Immigration judges decide asylum and deportation cases, so threats against them can affect the functioning and perceived independence of the immigration court system. Supporters of tougher enforcement and critics alike have a stake in whether courts can operate safely and fairly during a period of intensified removals.
