The Trump administration this week onboarded more than 80 new federal immigration judges, in its latest push to expedite deportation cases and further its government-wide crackdown on illegal immigration, Justice Department officials said Thursday.

The Justice Department, which oversees the U.S. immigration court system, swore in 77 permanent immigration judges and 5 temporary immigration judges, a group that officials described as the largest class of immigration judges in the department's history.

The additions come after the ouster of dozens of immigration judges across the country by the Trump administration over the past year. When President Trump took office, the Justice Department had more than 700 immigration judges. By earlier this year, that number had dipped below 600. Justice Department officials said the new class would bring the immigration judge corps back closer to 700 members.

The good news is that about 95% of the Biden era asylum seekers are not showing up for their status hearings and are absconding from the INS

They are pretty much defaulted on their claims and are subject up deportation

The left will start telling them to do this. (If they’re not already!). “All these judges are racists and you’ll lose and they’ll deport you on the spot. Stay home and don’t go to court!”.

Not necessarily a good thing unless these judges tacitly understand that their Job One is to rid this country of all third-world detritus.
