The Department of Justice has quietly removed one of New York’s most prolific asylum granters from the bench, and the statistics attached to her record read less like a judicial history than a policy statement. Judge Vivienne Gordon-Uruakpa, who served at the downtown Manhattan immigration courthouse, approved asylum claims at a rate of 97 percent — higher than any other immigration judge in the state of New York and far above both the national and local averages. She was terminated in September, though the news only surfaced publicly this week when reporters noticed her name had vanished from the courthouse’s official website.
The DOJ, asked about the absence, offered three words of confirmation and nothing else: the website, a spokesperson said, is “up to date.” The terse response was all the official comment the public received regarding the end of a judicial career defined by one of the most extraordinary approval records in American immigration court history.
