Victory for US immigration judges as Biden administration recognizes union

Settlement comes after judges accused president of doubling down' on Trump's position

In a stunning victory, US immigration judges have settled a tense dispute with Joe Biden's administration over their effort to restore union rights taken away from them under Donald Trump.

Biden's Department of Justice agreed on Tuesday to recognize the union as the exclusive representative for the nation's immigration judges and follow the terms of their collective bargaining agreement, at least for the time being.
