HR 7836 United States House · 119th Congress

Real Courts, Rule of Law Act of 2026

This bill establishes the United States Immigration Courts as an independent judicial system under Article I of the Constitution, separate from the executive branch. It creates three divisions (appellate, trial, and administrative), sets qualifications for judges, and defines jurisdiction for immigration proceedings. The bill transfers functions from the Executive Office for Immigration Review to this new court system, with detailed provisions for appointment, compensation, and retirement of judges. It also requires annual reporting to Congress on court workload and outcomes, including demographic information and case processing times.
