The House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship will meet Thursday to discuss the prospect of making the nation's immigration courts independent of America's top legal enforcer, the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Among those who will speak before the House committee is federal immigration judge Mimi Tsankov, who served with the Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) since 2006 and serves as president of the National Association of Immigration Judges labor union.

While insights on the federal immigration court system and its 1.6 million pending case backlog are often shielded from the public due to press restrictions on federal judges, Tsankov, in her capacity as president of the union, was able to shed light on the challenges facing the nation's immigration judges in an interview with Newsweek.
