DHS recruits deportation judges for Justice Department
The Department of Homeland Security’s recruitment effort is now focusing on adding deportation judges.
In a push aimed at speeding up removals and tightening enforcement, DHS is urging Americans to “be the judge” and apply to join the Justice Department as immigration judges — a role the administration is pitching as central to restoring integrity to a system conservatives say has been overwhelmed by fraud and years of lax enforcement.
“YOU BE THE JUDGE,” DHS posted Tuesday on X. “Join @TheJusticeDept as a deportation judge to write the next chapter of America. Combat fraud and those who seek to exploit vulnerabilities in our immigration system.”
The recruitment messaging mirrors a new Justice Department hiring page that frames the job in sweeping, nation-shaping terms.
“Help write the next chapter of America,” the DOJ says. “Apply today to become a deportation judge.”
The site lists a salary range of $159,951 to $207,500 per year, with a recruitment incentive of 25% of base pay for first-time federal employees placed in certain high-cost locations, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston-area postings, and multiple cities in California.
