In an effort to appear STRONGER on the overall Immigration Policy thing?
The Biden admin is moving to to juggle he case load of judges sitting on these millions of cases which can be well over a year ‘s per case….
It’s really just a administrative action….
There is currently a years-long backlog of more than 3 million cases working their way through the immigration court system.
The new docket for single adults who crossed between ports of entry mirrors a similar one already established for family cases. The docket will be in use for cases in five cities — Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York — and judges will face a six-month timeline for reaching a determination in the case.
The plan does not, however, include funding for additional immigration court judges, something a bipartisan immigration package considered in the Senate would have included.
A senior administration official said judges have already been identified who will be focused on the new cases, and that a dedicated workforce would be able to handle the new cases “on a more expedited timeline than say the average immigration case.”
Another official stressed that the length of time for the system to currently weigh such cases is being “exploited by smuggling networks,” some more effectively combated with deportations.
“We are confident that reducing the time it takes people to go through that process and being able to deliver consequences for those who are not to have a legal basis to remain in the United States in the form of a removal is the single most effective tool we have in our toolbox in order to deter dealer migration,” the official said…..

More than three million cases?
That system has totally collapsed.These “ reforms are a joke.
It would take hundreds of new courts and millions of dollars to even make dent in it.

My Name Is Jack says
There’s no “ fixing it.” There’s no way to handle that many cases.
