The Trump administration fired eight immigration judges based in New York City on Monday, an official at the National Association of Immigration Judges said. All eight judges worked out of immigration court offices at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City, which is where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is headquartered in the city, the official told CBS News.

One of the judges who was fired was Amiena Khan, an assistant chief immigration judge at 26 Federal Plaza, the official said. Khan oversaw other immigration judges there.

According to the official, 98 judges have been fired nationally since January, including 12 assistant chief immigration judges. The official said that an almost equal number have taken early out options, retired or resigned since the start of the Trump administration.

A spokeswoman at the Executive Office for Immigration Review at the Justice Department, which has control over immigration judges and courts, declined to comment Tuesday on personnel matters.
