US Immigration Judge Under Pressure |
|
The memo adds to Justice Department ongoing pressure on immigration judges to clear the immigration court system’s lengthy case backlog. The immigration courts have had a backlog for most of the past decade, due to more investment in enforcement than in adjudication. As of the end of February, the backlog stood at 684,583 pending cases according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, which studies data from Freedom of Information Act requests. |
