Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted April 3, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 3, 2018 The Department of Justice is setting quotas for immigration judges — part of a broader effort to speed up deportations and reduce a massive backlog of immigration cases. The new quotas are laid out in a memo that was sent to immigration judges across the country on Friday. In order to get a "satisfactory" rating on their performance evaluations, judges will be required to clear at least 700 cases a year, and to have less than 15 percent of their decisions overturned on appeal. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and other immigration hardliners say that backlog allows people who should be deported quickly to stay in the United States for years while they wait for a court date. Immigration courts handle the civil cases of undocumented immigrants who are seeking to stay in the U.S. The courts are part of the Justice Department, and Sessions has the power to set rules and change precedent. He wants to clear a backlog that is approaching 700,000 cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
