IT’S JUST AFTER 2 P.M. and Immigration Judge Garry Malphrus is looking at a long afternoon of deporting illegal immigrants. He punches a button on a tape recorder and intones: “Respondent was scheduled for a master calendar hearing at 9 a.m. It is now 2:20 p.m.” Malphrus notes the immigrant’s failure to appear, asks a lone Immigration and Customs Enforcement lawyer if an attempt has been made to contact the government the inevitable response: “no”, and then formally orders the immigrant’s removal from the United States. Stop tape.
The routine continues for the better part of an hour. Next file. Repeat script. Stop tape.
