The union said the judges were working in courts in 10 different states across the country — California, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Texas, Utah and Virginia.

According to the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, since the Trump administration took office, more than 103 judges have either been fired or voluntarily left after

The union said judges hear between 500 and 700 cases annually, and the firings will only add to the country's backlog of over 3.5 million cases.
