The Trump Administration Will Pause Hiring Of Immigration Judges As Immigrants Wait Years For Their Cases
The Trump administration will pause its hiring of immigration judges, slow its procuring of support staff, and cancel a training conference in a setback to the government's efforts to cut down on a crushing backlog of cases, according to a Justice Department email obtained by BuzzFeed News.
The pause on hiring delivers a blow to an administration that has long complained that the immigration court backlog, which has increased in recent years to more than 800,000 cases, has led to wait times stretching months and years. The news comes a day before McHenry is set to speak before the House Appropriations Committee and as the court withstands criticisms from the union that represents immigration judges that moves to increase productivity, like a quota of cases to complete each year, has stripped them of any independence.
