Introduction
This policy analysis examines the current state of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR)—the country’s immigration court system—and lays out a path to modernization under the administration of President Joe Biden. Rarely has a new U.S. administration had such an immediate need and opportunity to profoundly change the immigration courts—to implement reforms that will better serve America’s interests now and in the coming decades.
