Immigration Judge

An Immigration Judge is a legal official who hears cases related to immigration matters, such as deportation or asylum requests. They are part of the U.S. Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review. During hearings, the judge evaluates evidence, listens to testimonies from immigrants and witnesses, and makes decisions based on immigration law. Their rulings can determine whether an individual can remain in the country or must leave. Immigration Judges play a crucial role in the immigration process, ensuring that legal proceedings are fair and just.
