Breaking News — Michael Creppy is Stepping Down

The nation’s top immigration judge is stepping down days after an official acknowledged that U.S. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales’ investigation of immigration courts is winding down. Michael Creppy will be replaced by David L. Neal, a former Los Angeles immigration attorney. Justice Department officials confirmed Thursday that Creppy is leaving after 12 years as the chief immigration judge. He will move in May to the office that oversees employer sanctions and document fraud.
