President Donald Trump fired top immigration officials at the Department of Justice quickly after taking office.

Chief immigration judge Sheila McNulty; the office's general counsel Lauren Alder Reid; general counsel head Lauren Alder Reid and acting Director of the Executive Office of Immigration Review Mary Cheng were fire, according to NBC News.

The officials were civil servants and reportedly not given advanced warning.

“My career Senior Executive Service colleagues and I are shocked and severely disappointed in the decision to remove us from our positions without notice or cause," Reid told the news outlet. "We have dedicated our careers to upholding the rule of law, regardless of the administration. Our continued pursuit of justice will not be diminished."

The officials reportedly worked at the department for decades.
