immigration courts
Asylum case venues
Immigration courts are administrative tribunals that hear cases involving deportation, asylum, and other immigration matters.
Unlike regular courts, they operate under the Department of Justice rather than the judicial branch, with judges who are government attorneys rather than independent jurists.
Critics note this structure creates potential conflicts when the executive branch both prosecutes and adjudicates cases.
