President Donald Trump's promised crackdown on illegal immigration has resulted in temporary reassignments of about one-third of the nation's immigration judges, a move judges and activists say is only further backlogging already jammed immigration courts.

Dozens of immigration judges have been sent for weeks-long assignments closer to the U.S. border with Mexico following Trump's executive order aimed at increasing border security.
     Judges have also been assigned to detention centers around the country or made to hear cases via teleconferencing.
     More than 100 of the nation's 326 immigration judges have been mobilized in the administration's effort, according to the Department of Justice.

The aim: to more quickly decide deportation cases, immigration advocates say.

The moves have forced some reassigned immigration judges to temporarily abandon their dockets and resulted in some people waiting even longer for their day in court.

"Judges very carefully manage their dockets," said Dana Leigh Marks, president of the National Association of Immigration Judges. "Taking control away from the judges and reassigning them has a very disruptive impact on the court."

Part of that disruption, Marks said, is growing the country's backlog of cases. The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University found that the number of pending immigration cases swelled to more than 610,000 last month.

Immigrants waited an average of 672 days for their cases to be resolved in 2016, according to The Transactional Records Acce   https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-apos-immigration-crackdown-causing-133200072.html www.yahoo.com/news/trump-apos-immigration-crackdown-causing-133200072.html
