Bill overview
This bill, the Empowering Immigration Courts Act, aims to strengthen the authority of immigration judges. Specifically, it modifies a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow judges to impose fines as a sanction for individuals who demonstrate contempt of the court’s authority. This change would provide judges with a broader tool to maintain order and ensure proper conduct during immigration proceedings. The bill seeks to improve the functioning and effectiveness of the immigration court system.
