The Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) released statistics on the impact of Executive Order (EO) 13767: Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements, which called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to assign immigration judges to immigration detention facilities. Immigration Law Offices of Gail S. Seeram is seeing immigration cases at detention facilities being streamlined or moving fast and individuals being removed through removal orders much faster than in the past.
Pursuant to the President’s Executive Order, over 100 immigration judges have been mobilized to Department of Homeland Security detention facilities across the country, including along the southern border. This mobilization includes both in-person assignments and dockets heard via video teleconferencing (VTC).
Comparing the results of the surge to historical scheduling and outcome data, EOIR has projected that the mobilized immigration judges have completed approximately 2,700 more cases than expected if the immigration judges had not been detailed. This means that completed cases by detailed immigration judges have outpaced expected home court deferrals, resulting in a positive net effect on the nationwide caseload.
Also, immigration judges mobilized to surge sites completed approximately 21 percent more cases on detail than the historical, expected performance of non-detailed immigration judges at the same base locations. “EOIR is pleased with the results of the surge of immigration judges to detention facilities and the potential impact it has on the pending caseload nationwide,” said Acting Director James McHenry. “The Justice Department will continue to identify ways in which it can further improve immigration judge productivity without compromising due process.”
A total of 632,261 immigration cases were pending in immigration court as of August 2017. As immigration judges are forced to clear the current backlog, immigrants facing deportation may not have an opportunity to obtain a lawyer and be forced to agree to removal/deportation. Remember to NOT WAIVE A JUDICIAL HEARING and ALWAYS EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO SEE A JUDGE!!
