In a significant move aimed at expediting the deportation process, the Trump administration has sworn in over 80 new immigration judges—the largest class in history. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to tackle the backlog of cases within immigration courts and to implement reforms that critics argue stack the courts against immigrants. While supporters claim it enhances national security by speeding up deportations, former judges have raised concerns about federal micromanagement of immigration courts. The Department of Justice asserts that this influx of judges will help streamline proceedings and keep American communities safe.
