Justice Department targets slow immigration judges as Trump pushes faster deportations
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Justice Department is focusing on removing immigration judges deemed too slow or not compliant with the law, according to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. This initiative is part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to address a backlog of 3.7 million immigration cases and expedite deportations. Blanche spoke at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix, emphasizing that judges must apply the law without bias. Critics argue that the administration is undermining due process in immigration courts, prioritizing speed over fairness. The department is also hiring new judges and pursuing denaturalization cases more aggressively than in the past.
