The Executive Office For Immigration Review (EOIR) is a sub-agency of the United States Department of Justice whose chief function is to conduct removal proceedings in immigration courts and adjudicate appeals arising from the proceedings. These administrative proceedings determine the removability and admissibility of individuals in the United States. As of January 19, 2023, there were sixty-eight immigration courts and three adjudication centers throughout the United States.
Immigration adjudication does not conform to the separation of functions as prescribed by the Administrative Procedure Act. Instead, the Department of Homeland Security initiates removal proceeding against a litigant; the immigration judge is employed by EOIR. In the removal proceeding, the U.S. Government is represented by an Assistant Chief Counsel, often referred to as a "DHS attorney" or "trial attorney." Unlike criminal adjudications in Article III courts, litigants in removal proceedings do not have a constitutional right to counsel, except in narrow circumstances.

It's frequently used as an excuse to berate "sinners," with the excuse that they would want someone to confront them about their sins and lead them to Jesus.
Oh, I very much agree.
I would put money on him trying to push everything through illegally with his cronies though and make the judicial system try to keep up. I'm just saying a framework exists for him to exploit.
But I'm not a lawyer, so I'll leave the doomsaying for people who actually know what they're talking about.
