Can Retired Federal Judges Solve The Immigration-Court Backlog?

Judges Patel and Jensen

Retired federal judges Marilyn Hall Patel and Marilyn Hall Patel have proposed a novel solution to the 700,000-plus case backlog currently facing immigration courts: enlist the help of retired federal judges.

As Patel told CNN: “We certainly have the expertise. We’ve handled heavy dockets of cases and we’re accustomed with having to get up to speed very quickly in various areas of the law.”

Interesting.
