US Justice Department to replace slow immigration judges as deportations speed up under Trump

Judges accused of delays could be removed

The US Justice Department says it will target immigration judges accused of slow rulings and failing to follow the law, warning replacements for those creating “unacceptable” backlogs. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche framed the move as part of a broader plan to streamline immigration courts and accelerate deportations, aligning the judiciary process with the administration’s push for faster removals.
