In the midst of an IJ firing spree, Trump Admin cites the immigration court backlog in new rule loosening restrictions on "Temporary Immigration Judge" appointments. "Any attorney" who gets Pam Bondi's approval can be put on the bench. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-16573.p...

Isn't there something called the Trias-Politica or "three Powers" in the USA: the three independent branches: legislative, executive, and judicial in the United States? The federal government is structured this way by the Constitution. What Trump does is unconstitutional. Address it!

“a renewable term not to exceed six months” — any limit on the renewals? Seems not so temporary.

Clearly the goal. The backlog will enable Trump’s masked goons to continue raids and kidnapping anyone with the wrong skin color or accent from the streets, their homes and places of employment. The bug is again the feature of POTUS endorsed racism and ethnicity “cleansing”

'Any' attorney? I can just imagine the applicant pool. Bondi: Question 1 - Who did you vote for in 2016, 2020, & 2024? Question 2 - Who won the 2020 election? Question 3 - Oh, BTW, are you a member in good standing of any bar? Forget that one.
