Within the Department of Justice (DOJ), H.R. 83 appropriates $351 million for administrative review and appeals, a $36 million increase from FY 2014. This increase is intended to address a skyrocketing backlog in the immigration courts, which are overseen by immigration judges within the Department of Justice. During the Obama Administration, the backlog has doubled from over 200,000 cases to over 400,000 cases. (See, e.g., Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC))
