According to the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), 77 new immigration judges and 5 temporary immigration judges were officially sworn in on May 20, 2026 — the largest immigration judge class in the agency’s history.
The Department of Justice stated that EOIR has now hired 153 permanent immigration judges during Fiscal Year 2026, the highest number hired in a single year. Officials say the expansion is intended to help reduce the immigration court backlog, which currently stands at under 3.53 million pending cases.
