Sources tell Courtside “that David Neal is resigning as EOIR Director for health reasons, effective March 30. [Deputy Director] Mary Cheng will be Acting Director.”
As often happens at DOJ/EOIR, there has been no “official announcement.”
Neal was appointed by A.G. Merrick Garland on September 21, 2021. He also served EOIR in the following senior leadership positions
- Chairman, BIA (2012-2019)
- Vice Chair, BIA (2009-2012)
- Chief Immigration Judge (2007-2009)
- Acting Chief Immigration Judge (2006-2007)
- Assistant Chief Immigration Judge (2005-2006)
- U.S. Immigration Judge (2004-2005)
- Special Counsel to Director
May peace, healing, and recovery be with David and his family in retirement.
🇺🇸 Due Process Forever!
