Case Summary

(This summary is temporary while we research the case further). Two career civil servants serving as Assistant Chief Immigration Judges (ACIJs) and military veterans with the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Executive Office for Immigration Review, were terminated on February 14, 2025, effective immediately, without advance notice, opportunity to respond, or stated justification.

(This summary is temporary while we research the case further). Two career civil servants serving as Assistant Chief Immigration Judges (ACIJs) and military veterans with the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Executive Office for Immigration Review, were terminated on February 14, 2025, effective immediately, without advance notice, opportunity to respond, or stated justification. Documents later disclosed by the government indicated that the DOJ had mistakenly believed Petitioners were probationary employees with fewer civil service protections. The government argued before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) that Article II of the U.S. Constitution granted the President authority to remove the Petitioners at will, regardless of the Civil Service Reform Act's (CSRA) protections. While the MSPB's administrative judge initially ruled in Petitioners' favor, the MSPB Board reversed that decision on March 20, 2026, holding that Petitioners were inferior officers exercising significant adjudicative and policymaking authority, and that the Article II removal power abrogated the CSRA's protections, thereby depriving the Board of jurisdiction. On March 26, 2026, Petitioners filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, seeking reversal of the MSPB's dismissal and, implicitly, reinstatement with back pay and benefits.
