Why the model tagged it this way: The bill codifies and expands the Attorney General's authority to appoint qualified temporary immigration judges (including former judges, ALJs, and experienced DOJ attorneys) to adjudicate cases and reduce the immigration court backlog, with added requirements for training, oversight, and service limits.
