How will the deportations be expedited if the number of judges are not increased?

I see the budget only calls for another 100 immigration judges, how will they get around the backlog, as well as the increase?

Just curious how this will work.

You’ve heard of 5 Min Oil Change?

Set up 5 Min Immigration Adjudication at these detention centers. 5 or 6 immigration judges at each one adjudicating cases rapid fire, like speed dating, only instead of getting dates, the illegals get plane rides the frick out of this country.

I thought I read somewhere (Alligator Alcatraz) would have deputized military Jags to solve that problem.

Only one question needs answered. Are you a citizen of the United States and if it’s a no then pound hammer for shipments out. You could do this in rooms full of people on conveyors heading right to left to move them even quicker

quote:

According to Florida’s proposed immigration plan from earlier this year, there are nine Judge Advocate General officers in the National Guard who could be trained as immigration officers and training would take six weeks.

quote:

Unlike federal judges, who work for the judicial branch and are independent of the president, immigration judges work under the direction of the U.S. attorney general.

quote:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would approve Florida’s plan to expedite deportations by having qualified National Guard members work as immigration judges.

The National Guard are already getting paid. Just train the qualified to be judges. That helps with your budget concern.

Just have JAG officers keep training the qualified that have the aptitude.

Probably a lot more fair and impartial than the current female libs on SCOTUS.

Gotcha, using Nat Guard makes sense.

I just remember under the first term, the dems would not allow the increase of immigration judges. Then Sessions was putting 50 in at once asking them if they wanted to contest and lose (which they would) they would never be allowed in, or they could leave and do it the proper way.

The dems then argued that they were not individually getting a fair trial and the backlogs continued.

I see they are using that same strategy now which is nonsense, you shouldnt get "a trial" if you are in the country illegally to begin with. And if you did get "legal" herd processing under biden, if you cant prove you are here for economic reasons, or you crossed another border to get here (ie passed through Mexico) you violated international law and home you go. No need for this John Grisham nonsense like maryland man.

Appoint me an immigration judge. I’ll have so many hearings in a day it will make your head spin. Hell, I’ll even have night court too.

Round the clock hearings, 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Judges have 3 shifts and they just hear cases one after the other

I would like to volunteer to be a golf cart driver to help the process. I will pick up an illegal or two, take them to their drive-thru hearing, then to the runway where a plane from their home, is waiting to repatriate them.

You could check huge crowds of people at one time and simply asking,” if you have proof of citizenship, move here” the rest, you just send them back.

The Grok analysis of the Bill includes money for legal workers. Judges, lawyers, etc. The bases are all covered.

Grok it:

The claim that the Omnibus Border Bill and Budget Act (OBBBA) caps the number of immigration judges at 800 is based on misinformation and appears to be exaggerated for engagement on platforms like X. Here’s the fact-check based on available information:

The OBBBA, as referenced in posts on X, does not explicitly cap the number of immigration judges at 800. Instead, these claims seem to stem from misinterpretations of budget proposals or immigration court funding discussions. For instance, posts on X from July 2025 incorrectly suggest that the Senate bill (likely referring to a border security or immigration-related bill) imposes a strict cap of 800 judges, implying it would worsen the immigration court backlog. However, no primary source, such as the actual text of the OBBBA or related federal documents, confirms a hard cap of 800 immigration judges.

Current data indicates there are approximately 682 immigration judges, each handling an average of 4,500 pending cases, with the backlog exceeding 3 million cases. The Biden administration has requested funding for additional judges (e.g., 375 immigration judge teams in the 2024 budget), and historical data shows the judge corps reached over 465 in 2019. There’s no evidence in recent federal records or EOIR (Executive Office for Immigration Review) statements that a specific cap of 800 judges was enacted or proposed in the OBBBA. Instead, the discussion around judge numbers typically revolves around funding and resource allocation, not arbitrary caps.

The “cap at 800” narrative likely originates from a misreading of budget allocations or staffing goals, possibly conflated with proposals to limit hiring or funding. For example, a post by @ReichlinMelnick on X claimed the Senate bill caps judges at 800, but this lacks corroboration from official sources like the Federal Register or DOJ websites. Such posts may amplify partial truths or outdated context to stir debate, especially among politically charged audiences (“Panicans” in this case, likely referring to panicked or alarmist commentators).

Conclusion: The claim of a strict 800-judge cap in the OBBBA is not supported by primary sources and appears to be misinformation or a misinterpretation spread to farm engagement. The immigration court system’s issues are more about chronic underfunding and backlog growth than a specific cap on judges. Always cross-check viral claims with official documents like those on justice.gov or federalregister.gov for clarity.
