Two-thirds of the new judges have no #immigration #law experience listed in their online biographies, a break from previous years when many, if not most, candidates had experience in that area, according to an analysis of available #DOJ announcements. Only 24% had worked for #DHS, #ICE or the immigration #courts. The National Association of Immigration Judges said the Justice Department has cut training from nearly 5 weeks to 3.
