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.

NPR has tracked at least 140 #ImmigrationJudges who have been fired, quit or took an early retirement offer from the admin. At least 90 of them, including those who were supervisors, have received termination notices from the #Trump administration. Of the #judges fired between February & October this year, most had experience in #immigration defense, an NPR investigation found.

…Each judge who is terminated or resigns leaves behind thousands of cases, with those scheduled for this year now rescheduled to as far out as 2030. #Immigration advocates have warned the #layoffs contribute to the backlog.
