The Trump administration will impose a new quota system on immigration judges in an effort to speed up deportations and clear the backlog of hundreds of thousands of cases currently waiting to go before a judge, according to a Justice Department directive sent to judges Friday. Under the new system, immigration judges’ job performance would be based, in part, on whether they meet several standards, including a requirement to close 700 cases a year. In addition, of those cases, each judge would need fewer than 15 percent of their decisions to be sent back by a higher court.
