We currently have around 700 immigration judges

Ok here’s an idea to deport millions more illegals *and* provide due process:

We currently have around 700 immigration judges

Fun fact - they work for Trump’s executive branch, not SCOTUS and are appointed by AG Bondi

They have a backlog of over 3.6 million cases, which equates to a 4.5 year backlog

Why not provide billions more in funding, hire 5,000 new “immigration judges” on a temporary basis, and have them clear out 15+ million illegal aliens with due process by 2028?

And fire any judges that don’t use pre approved guidelines.

It's better to just suspend habeas corpus and deport them quickly. One of the problem Tom Holman has noted is that the Bidet Regime released people into the U.S. without even scheduling a hearing. So, now they need to be tracked down and given a hearing on their asylum claims. One solution is to require them to register, schedule the hearing and then schedule them for deportation for missing their hearing date. Hopefully, Blondi is working on that.

I’d be willing to come out of retirement for a year or so to serve as a temporary immigration judge. I know of many other retired and semi-retired attorneys who would be happy to do the same.

what does a habeas corpus hearing look like?

there is only one question

do you have evidence of US citizenry or other legal status?

no, AMF!

line them up in detention and have the judge walk the line

nope, deport
nope, deport
nope, deport

In other words, an Ad Hoc!

That would be great. I know several retired judges who would be glad to do it as well.

I’m not sure. Maybe poster Bubba_Leroy in the thread can answer that.

How about no new funding? Find a way to take care of it without a net increase in bureaucrats and judges. First of all make it harder for them to get in.

“Immigration judges” are employees of the DOJ and not part of the Judicial Branch. No confirmation required.

From Grok:

Immigration judges do not need to be confirmed by the Senate. They are appointed by the Attorney General as administrative judges within the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). These positions are considered career civil service roles, not political appointments requiring Senate confirmation. Immigration judges are hired through a competitive process, typically requiring a law degree, U.S. citizenship, bar membership, and at least seven years of relevant legal experience.

We have zero immigration judges. Contrary to what they want to think, or want us to think, they aren’t judges. They are special hearing officers of the Executive branch. But they think their black robes makes them judges.

No. they are Executive Branch employees, working in the Executive Office for Immigration Review. Notice no mention of anything remotely judicial in that.

That’s my preference too.

The nation’s lawyers could use the figurative swat upside their heads to relearn and adhere to the Constitution.

It doesn’t take a judge to wave people in and rubber stamp their asylum status.

Do they require Senate approval?

Nope. They are administrative law judges. They can be hired and fired at will by the President. Only Article III Judges (district court, court of appeals, and Supremes) require Senate confirmation.

Nope. Just deport them. Ignore the judges.
