Temporary Immigration Judge Integrity Act
This bill establishes rules for temporary immigration judges who handle cases while permanent judges are appointed. It allows the Attorney General to appoint former immigration judges, Board members, or attorneys with 10+ years of immigration law experience for up to 6-month terms (renewable for a maximum of 4 terms, or 24 months total). Temporary judges must complete 8 weeks of initial training plus weekly 1-day sessions unless recently retired (within 2 years), and their work is overseen by the Chief Immigration Judge. The law emphasizes that temporary judges should not replace permanent judges and requires them to have deep expertise in U.S. immigration law.
