DOJ Swears In 82 Immigration Judges To Shrink Case Backlog
The Department of Justice has sworn in 82 immigration judges, including 77 permanent and 5 temporary judges, to help reduce the 3.53 million pending immigration cases. This is the agency's highest priority. These new judges will work to reduce the backlog in immigration cases, which is a significant issue for the US immigration system. The DOJ has stated that reducing the backlog is its top priority.
What This Means For Immigrants
Reducing the backlog in immigration cases could lead to faster processing times and decisions on immigration status. However, this does not mean that all cases will be resolved quickly. Immigrants should continue to monitor the status of their cases and consult with their attorneys.
