Judge J: Immigration Courts and Press Writer

judge j: When the government attorney said he hadn't received the case file, Judge J. Dan Pelletier rescheduled the proceeding, according to The Chronicle Herald. Everybody would have to come back another day. But because of some missing paperwork, it was all for nothing. The sudden delay was just one example of the inefficiency witnessed by an Associated Press writer who observed hearings over two days in one of the nation's busiest immigration courts. Even before Trump became president, the nation's immigration courts were burdened with a record number of pending cases, a shortage of judges and frequent bureaucratic breakdowns. And that case is one of more than half a million weighing down court dockets across the country as President Donald Trump steps up enforcement of immigration laws. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
