“Most of the nation’s 734 immigration judges are seeking to reinstate their union ahead of an expected spike in immigration cases from President-elect Trump’s planned mass deportations. The judges’ appeal, scheduled to go before the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) on Tuesday, seeks to restore their right to bargain for contracts and have a union — a right stripped from them during Trump’s first term. Immigration judges are expecting a huge surge in new cases — adding to an already historic backlog of 3.7 million cases — once Trump launches his promised mass deportations of millions of undocumented immigrants.” (12/10/24)
