It appears Vance H. Spath has been removed from the list of Assistant Chief Immigration Judges. The page says it was updated on the 17th, but there's been no announcement. justice.gov/eoir/office-of…
Spath was a Guantanamo judge presiding over cases where the DOJ was a party while he was asking them to hire him as an IJ. The DC Circuit in April 2019 said he had created “an intolerable cloud of partiality.” abajournal.com/web/article/dc…
Nevertheless, in April, 2020 Trump's DOJ promoted him from being an IJ in Arlington to being an ACIJ based in Miami. It's unclear if he still works for EOIR. The policy manual still lists him as an ACIJ. But it hasn't been updated in over a month. justice.gov/eoir/eoir-poli…
I previously wrote about how Spath's hiring records showed EOIR had changed its pay scale policy specifically so it could hire Spath. Those records are here: muckrock.com/foi/united-sta… Image

People should read the OIG report about sexual misconduct in the IJ hiring process. The sex stuff wasn’t found to be misconduct but giving an IJ candidate the questions in advance was. I’m posting the redacted report we received through FOIA here. cdn.muckrock.com/foia_files/202…
First, a the report describes senior EOIR employees using “code words” to rate prospective female immigration judge candidates based on how sexually attractive they were. Those men are still employed by EOIR. Image
Their code word for a woman they considered very attractive was “smart” or “really smart.” Imagine being interviewed for a high level government job and having your panel refer to you as “smart” only to later find out they were just using their code language to refer to your body

Live tweeting the EOIR's "case flow processing" information session. The memo that kicked this off is here. It's pretty openly unlawful, but here we are. justice.gov/eoir/page/file…
Opening with Gail Montenegro as moderator. First announcement: This process does not apply to unrepresented respondents (that's what the memo says too). Principal Deputy Chief Immigration Judge (acting) Mary Cheng will do an overview and then they'll do a Q&A.
Judge Cheng was reading a statement that repeats some of the language from memo. But Judge Cheng's audio just cut out.
