I just don’t know how the executive branch can tie up a co-equal branch, the judiciary.

Probably because these immigration judges are what they call "Article I" judges, or administrative judges created by Congress. I

The so-called co-equal judges are "Article III" judges, or trial judges created by Congress for appellate review under the Supreme Court.

The Article I judges perform executive review of administrative procedures and regulations under the direction of the Department of Justice.

Thanks. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.
