I’m not enraged by the term “immigration judge” any more than I am by the term “administrative law judge.” What I care about is whether immigrants are afforded due process.
- solenoid0937 5mo agoThe reason this is a "wtf moment" is because due process should not be under the purview of the executive. Immigration judges should be part of the judicial branch, not executive.
- dcrazy 5mo agoArticle I tribunals (I mistakenly called referred to Article IV earlier) are constitutional as long as their decisions are reviewable by an Article III court, which is clearly part of the legislative branch. So if an immigration judge rules against you, you have the right to appeal to a federal circuit court. If that’s a WTF moment to you, it’s because you don’t understand how administrative law works in this country. Wikipedia says it’s been this way since 1856.
