The head of the immigration judges union asked a House panel Wednesday for the "urgent creation" of independent immigration courts, separate from the Department of Justice structure that oversees the current system.

National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ) President Ashley Tabbador told members of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship that "America needs an immigration court that is free from improper influence on the decisions of immigration judges."

Immigration courts are a part of the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), and their decisions can be directly overruled by the attorney general.

The union and the executive branch have butted heads in the past, but friction has increased during the Trump administration, to the point where EOIR in August petitioned the Federal Labor Relations Authority to decertify NAIJ as a union.

I always understood the problem was with political appointments, 9th Circuit being the obvious example.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
