IJs Not Subject To Hiring Freeze

From Reuters: “President Donald Trump’s federal hiring freeze will not apply to immigration court judges under an exception for positions that are needed for national security and public safety[.]” It’s a decision straight from AG Sessions.

That’s good news. Immigration courts currently face tremendous backlogs and numerous IJ positions remain vacant.

Of course, it’s less good news if IJ positions are filled entirely with judges in the Atlanta IJ mold.
