House Republicans are demanding to know what led to a Justice Department order that a union of immigration judges get supervisor approval before speaking about the heavily backlogged courts.
PoliticsFILE - An officer directs people to a courtroom, Jan. 10, 2024, in an immigration court in Miami. A 53-year-old union of immigration judges has been ordered to get supervisor approval to speak publicly to anyone outside the Justice Department, potentially quieting a frequent critic of heavily backlogged immigration courts in an election year.
The 53-year-old union has spoken at public forums, in interviews with reporters and with congressional staff, often to criticize how courts are run. It has advocated for more independence and free legal representation as the court backlog has mushroomed to more than 3 million cases. “With so much attention now focused on immigration and the border, it's vitally important to have transparency and to hear from the judges who are on the front lines,” Biggs said.
