Donald Trump said he'd launch the “largest deportation” in American history. To do it, he'll need to address a massive backlog in immigration court cases.
Massive backlog means he can do whatever because courts won’t be able to stop it in time.
Also “Immigration Court” is a misnomer, its part of the executive branch, under the Department of Justice officially known as “Executive Office for Immigration Review”, not actually an actual court in the judicial branch. Immigration Court proceedings are administrative proceedings.
trump could just sign an executive order to make changes to the court to speed things up. He could have his AG appoint a bunch a new immigration “judges” (they aren’t even real judges btw, they are employees of the DoJ), to make deportations much faster. He could order these “judges” to not really hear the case and just rubber-stamp deportations.
Only way to not be under the judisdiction of the “Executive Office for Immigration Review” is if you are a US Citizen. Denaturalization will have to go through the actual courts in the judicial branch. (Although he could just try to illegally deport US Citizens anyways, he’s legally immune from punishments as long as its an “official act”)
No lol.
Executive orders are legal until courts stop it.
