DOJ onboards 82 new immigration judges in deportation push
The Trump administration has appointed 82 new immigration judges to expedite deportation cases as part of its crackdown on illegal immigration. This marks the largest class of immigration judges in the history of the Justice Department, which has seen a significant reduction in the number of judges over the past year. Critics argue that the administration is undermining the impartiality of immigration courts by referring to judges as 'deportation judges.'
