With more than 600,000 cases in the pipeline and growing, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the Justice Department will require immigration judges to meet an annual quota of case resolutions in order to receive a satisfactory performance rating. 700 cases is the new requirement. So, the goal is clear: Speed up the deportation process. And, coming up with a quota scheme for immigration judges will certainly make that happen. If Sessions has his way, the system's backlog will be cleared in no time. But that rush to judgment will come at a price. The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIC), could be reduced to immigration Kangaroo courts, rubber stamping removal orders without any consideration for due process.
