Former immigration judge Tania Nemer, who was fired in February, is now suing the Trump administration, alleging that she was discriminated against despite strong performance reviews. Nemer is one of about 100 immigration judges who have been fired or reassigned since Trump took office. The system is notoriously backlogged, with more than 3 million cases pending. "I was pulled away in the middle of the hearing," she says.
Nemer filed a discrimination complaint with the Department of Justice, which officials dismissed, citing Article II of the Constitution on presidential powers. "I've been practicing employment law and representing federal employees for almost 30 years, and I have never seen a federal agency dismiss a complaint for this reason," says Nemer's attorney, James Eisenmann.

"She's kind of done it already," he said. "Look at all those people who voted for [Nikki] Haley when she was already done. I actually think there's kind of a hidden Harris vote for Republicans who are just exhausted by Donald Trump."
Turnout is another factor that plays to Democrat's advantage, Conway predicted. "I also think that even the people who are still for Trump and won't vote for Harris, I don't think the turnout's going to be great for him."
