Seems she did break (existing, not new) visa rules on work for room and board. Though why that means she's detained and not just sent home, I don't get.

Massive backlog of judges, after Trump got rid of a bunch, as far as I can make out.

Trump got rid of a bunch [of judges]
On grounds of ideology or economy ?

Look at the wrecking ball that he's currently driving through government. I'm not seeing much thought applied there.

And you apply economy *because* of ideology. Whether and where to cut always comes down to what you value.

I was thinking more of the judges' ideologies.

Has he reducing the number of judges, or has he got rid of lefties and needs time to replace them with his own ?
