The #Trump admin claims to have authorized the use of #MilitaryLawyers as temporary #judges in an effort to streamline the millions-long backlog of #immigration cases in the #courts.

However, that backlog has only gotten worse as immigration courts, which are housed within the #DOJ, have seen efforts to restructure their workforce.

The firings come as the admin seeks to reshape who serves on #courts & makes decisions about which #immigrants are allowed to stay in the #US.

There are no #Republican cosponsors on the measure, meaning it's unlikely to pass in a #GOP-controlled #Congress. But the #legislation adds to the scrutiny that #Democrats have brought to the adminn's approach to #immigration courts & their personnel.
