Twenty-Three New Immigration Judges Sworn In

On November 5, 2010 a swearing-in ceremony was held for twenty-three new Immigration Judges, increasing the number of judges serving the United States' fifty-nine Immigration Courts from 239 to 262. The ceremony was held at the headquarters of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) in Falls Church, VA. Chief Immigration Judge Brian M. O'Leary says that EOIR expects "...to further enhance the corps by additional immigration judges before the end of the calendar year." The new judges will serve courts in several states, including California, Florida, Colorado and Texas. One hopes that adding to the judicial roles in this way will help reduce the time gap between initial and final hearings. For further information, and for information on the individual judges, see:
