Acting AG Todd Blanche Reveals Biden’s Disastrous Migration Backlog

Trump’s Acting U.S. Attorney General, Todd Blanche, told senators Tuesday that he has asked for $37 million to help eliminate the Biden-era backlog of deportation-related courtroom cases.

Blanche told the senators that he has asked for the $37 million to put into an effort to modernize the DOJ’s outdated legal IT network to ramp up its ability to hear more immigration cases.

The AG appeared before the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee to report on how the administration is addressing the dearth of judges, clerks, and infrastructure to hear the millions of immigration cases still left over from Joe Biden’s wide open borders fiasco.

After being asked by Alabama Republican Sen. Katie Britt about where the DOJ stands on the problem, Blanche assured the committee that the administration has a plan to begin plowing through the backlog of immigration cases, and that the progress has already begun.

He noted that the DOJ has already heard an unprecedented 500,000 cases last year alone and plans to ramp up the effort this year.
