Background

The Honorable Immigration Judge Jerome M. Day earned a Bachelor of Science in 1976 from the University of Texas at El Paso and a Juris Doctor in 1980 from the University of Oklahoma College of Law. Before his appointment, he was a partner at the law firm of Grimes, Gelders, Anderson & Day (1990-2026), a solo practitioner in Edmond, Oklahoma (2006-2026), and an administrative law judge for the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission (2007-2026). He is a member of the Oklahoma Bar and the State Bar of Texas and is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Fifth and Tenth Circuits, and the U.S. District Courts in Texas and Oklahoma. Judge Day was appointed an immigration judge in May 2026, as part of the class of 77 immigration judges invested by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, and assigned to the Laredo Immigration Court. This profile was compiled from EOIR's class-of-77 biographical release through independent research, because a standard individual biography for this judge was not published on EOIR's website, which is uncommon.
