Department official who oversees the immigration courts as head of the Executive Office for Immigration Review, announced a mandate imposing individual quotas on all the judges. Each judge would be required to decide 700 cases per year, he said.
With these new quotas, which went into effect on Oct. 1, immigration judges must now decide between three and four cases a day — while also reviewing dozens of motions daily and keeping up with all their administrative duties — or their jobs will be at risk.
The announcement of the quotas in March was the first in a series of demoralizing attacks on immigration judges this year. In May, Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions, since fired by Trump, personally issued a decision that placed limits on the ability of immigration judges to use a practice known as administrative closure, which allows judges to put cases on indefinite hold, and which, in immigration cases, can be a tool for delaying deportation orders.
The Justice Department enforced the decision in July by stripping an immigration judge in Philadelphia of his authority in scores of cases for continuing to use administrative closure.
All this was in addition to a barrage of disparaging comments made directly by the president. In June, Trump tweeted that there is no reason to provide judges to immigrants. He also rejected calls to hire more immigration judges, saying that “we have to have a real border, not judges” and asking rhetorically, “Who are these people?”
I’ve long admired the independence and legitimacy that the judiciary enjoys in the United States, so I found the attacks on judges deeply disturbing and troubling.

Immigration judges ARE NOT part of the independent judiciary. And the Justice Department IS NOT part of the independent judiciary.
They are under the Executive Branch.
Good riddance, dope!
Good.
More winning!
Buh-bye.
Goodbye drama queen.
Good riddance. Maybe be replaced with someone who will enforce the law. Better yet, deny each claim and send them home.
And the swamp keeps getting drained one critter at a time

LATIMES ? Yer posed 2 furnish toilet paper when citing them !
“He treated me like a dog, Mr. Wally!”

MJBGA!!! Making the Judicial Branch Great Again!!!
Well here’s some good news!
The joke about the EOIR courts is that the process doesn’t end until the alien wins.
The administrative law judges who run this little rubber stamp operation are very much responsible for Americans being dispossessed of their country.
His whining falls on my deaf ears.
1 anti American commie down, millions more to go.
Can you IMAGINE!!!

“Maybe be replaced with someone who will enforce the law. Better yet, deny each claim and send them home.”
The law does not allow for appeal.
The decision of the immigration “judge” is final in all asylum claims. And final for all “immigrants” caught at the border.
Yes, an immigration judge can deny each claim and not be subject to second guessing.
He’s a cub immigration attorney trolling for clients. Yawn.
The swamp just drained one more
Sounds like more winning.
Good riddance. When the Illegal immigration stops then the judges will get to twittle there thumbs all day while they wait for a case.
