Roughly 100 Army Reserve lawyers are expected to participate, with 50 beginning a nearly six-month assignment immediately after their training, according to a Sept. 3 email sent to an Army Reserve attorney and reviewed by The Associated Press. With only about 600 immigration judges remaining, the Pentagon move would double their ranks. Until now, temporary judges needed 10 years of legal experience in immigration, and were often retired immigration judges, according to the government’s rule laying out the new plan. In the rule, the agency wrote that many successful immigration judges had little experience in immigration law before taking the job. “Immigration law experience is not always a strong predictor of success,” the rule said.
