Immigration Judges

Immigration judges are specialized judges in the United States who handle cases involving individuals seeking asylum, deportation, or other immigration-related matters. They operate within the U.S. Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review. These judges review evidence, conduct hearings, and make decisions about whether a person can remain in the country or must leave. Their rulings can significantly impact the lives of migrants and their families, as well as broader immigration policies. Immigration judges aim to ensure that immigration laws are applied fairly and justly, often dealing with complex legal and humanitarian issues.
