WSJ: Immigration Judges Face New Quotas in Bid to Speed Deportations
The Justice Department has notified immigration judges that it will begin evaluating their job performance based on how quickly they close cases, setting quotas for the first time.
Starting October 1st, the first day of the new fiscal year, all immigration judges are obliged to complete at least 700 cases a year. The Trump administration obviously wants to speed up this notoriously slow process, which means more deportations.
