AILA Calls for Independent Immigration Courts

Many Americans are not aware that our nation’s immigration courts, unlike other courts, are a part of DOJ — the very same law-enforcement agency that is charged with prosecuting criminal immigration cases in federal courts. That's why AILA believes America needs an independent, Article I immigration court that will administer our nation’s immigration laws free from political manipulation.

You can join AILA in urging members of Congress to publicly support independent, Article I immigration court reform to ensure that everyone can have access to a fair day in court.

Take action and tell Congress to call for immigration court reform and share your support on social media.
