one of the few adjude ka tory agencies that uses paper files. we identified a need for electronic records in 2001, and there hasn't been a lot of progress made until last year. but that's been a top priority for us, to finally push through, and i'm happy to say that we're prepared to start piloting electronic case records in five or six courts this summer with hopefully a nationwide rollout next year. >> when you pilot that, will they be motions, applications, or are you still in the planning stages for that? >> the idea right now is electronic filing across the board. so motions, evidence, applications, whatever there is. the ultimate goal is to create an electronic record of proceedings. makes it easier for the judges to look at conducting a hearing, easier for the law clerks later on if they need to review something to write a decision. it makes it easy for the public to be able to file at their convenience, than to go down to the window and filing it. >> let's talk about records and proceedings. you brought it up. that's the actual record th

. >> you go to a delaware court, generally adjudicates corporate disputes and a family controls our company. we want to take that company away from the family. i just never heard something like that. but it's happening here. it's cbs. filed a lawsuit yesterday, basically asking for temporary injunction to prevent shari

we can adjudicate more cases with more judges. ultimately if we could get enough judges would turn around the backlog so it would take a long time. the judge part is necessary but not sufficient by itself a way of dealing with caseload. the second way we deal with it, increasing our existing capacity. we work on docketing efficiencies. reduce number of courtrooms not being used by utilizing vtc technology. we're bringing back retired immigration judges to hear cases. we're shifting resources. some courts have lower capacity or excess capacity. so they can hear cases from other locations. it is relatively easy to do with vtc. third as i mentioned we're changing the infrastructure. that is primarily moving to electronic-based system that will make it faster and easier for judgeses to get through cases. we're working with our partners, primarily the department of homeland security. they have their own case completion issues. they have their own priorities. working with them to make sure we don't get swamped or something caught up in

of those loopholes not allowing people to cross the border illegally and claim asylum without adjudicatingght there on the spot. there are positive things going forward and this president is making them happen. >> english as a foreign language class, you can learn english if you come here and claim asylum, job readiness and employment. we take good care of people and good-natured to people who are here legitimately because they're running from a situation where they think their life is threatened. a number of people are abusing the system, because there are so many benefits seeking asylum. >> if they are here legitimately and do have a legitimate asylum claim we should take care of those individuals which is why we have the laws the we do. the problem is the vast majority of them do not have legitimate asylum claim and if they are receiving, taking from the taxpayer, you and i who put into the system, to benefit our citizens and those individuals who have a legitimate claim. rob: thank you for highlighting this issue and see how to take care of this, we appreciate your time. shannon: 19 af

the primary mission at eoir is to adjudicate cases, this is from your website, by fairly, expeditiously and unformally and administering the immigration law. frankly low 690,000 cases in addition to however many administratively closed cases seems like an overwhelming caseload for 334 immigration judges, as you referenced before. what steps have you taken, or do you plan to take, to ensure that those cases are fairly and expeditiously heard in accordance with the mission statement of the agency? >> we've outlined steps we plan to take over the past six to seven months. ,he first is the most obvious and that's hiring more immigration judges. we've hired 56 immigration judges in the past year and a half, and five advertisements for up to 4 additional positions and we're looking at bringing on probably four more this month, and then a large group hopefully this summer. we anticipate by the end of the fiscal year at least up to 40 to 50 that we can bring on board. each of the judges increases our judge's ajudeacatory capacity. ultimately, we could get enough judges to turn around the back -

if it gets approved, final adjudication. what's held up final adjudication? politics on the appropriations. i think this bill will help solve because once we get a good vote, my colleagues, i don't think we voted on an authorization bill on this issue on an authorization bill since 2002. that's when the state of nevada objected per the law. they were allowed to do that. we had a chance then to override that veto, because as mark sanford said, this is a national problem that demands a national solution. so the law laid out an opportunity to hear the complaints from the state of nevada and i -- and say yes or no. they said no. the law laid out the opportunity for the national legislative body and the president of the united states to decide to accept or reject that. . i think this chamber vote was about 350 to reject the state of nevada's opposition. the senate rejected it on a voice vote. so we've been through this numerous times. we know where the majority of representatives are. we know where the majority of senators will be. we just got to move. we've got t

however, face large caseloads and lack the resources to properly ensure that violent crimes are adjudicated in a timely manner. even when a suspect has been identified through d.n.a. evidence. h.r. 4854, the justice served act of 2018, encourages a resolution of this problem by providing additional resources, none to take away from the important work of the purpose of the act, but to add these additional resources as are available through this legislation. prosecutors need to investigate, solve, and close these cases, giving though resources to do so. remember, investigating, solving, and closing have the component of making sure that we do justice as well. this includes additional funding for the prosecution of cold cases where new forensic technology has identified a suspect. it's important to note the need for additional funding is not the only problem that impacts prosecutors' ability to deal with perpetrators of violent crimes. but according to the rape, abuse, and incest national network, the overwhelming backlog of untested d.n.a. evidence is currently one of the biggest obstacles to

held them in detention until their case could be adjudicated and returned them. and the following year, less than 2,000 came in here. his goal was to reduce if not stop the flow as opposed to -- right now, you are forced to apprehend, process and disburse and that is a huge thing for illegal immigration. i want to discuss this during this committee and those are the types of authorities i want to provide you as secretary of homeland security so you can fulfill your mission of providing greater security for our homeland. i turn it over to senator mccaskill. senator: i would like to talk .h.s. budget policy in two important areas and one as it relates to border patrol staffing. i am concerned about border patrol staffing. i think the men and women of the border patrol do an amazing job. i think they are brave, courageous and hard-working and it is national law enforcement week and it is important to recognize the men and women who protect us. when you look at the staffing along the border, the diagram of the staffing, it has been on a downward trajectory since pres

meaning we can adjudicate more cases with more judges. now, ultimately, we can get enough judges that we can turn around the backlog. it will take a long time. the judge part is a necessary, but not sufficient way of dealing with cases. the second way to deal with it is increasing the existent capacity. we are working on docket capacity. courtrooms that are not being used, we are working on bringing back retired judges to hear cases. and we are shifting resources around, some courts have lower -- excess capacity, so they can hear cases from other locations. it is relatively easy to do. we are changing the infrastructure that is primarily moving to an electronic basis. it makes it faster and easier. we are working with partners, the department of homeland security, they have their own case completion issues. they have their own priorities. we are working with them to make sure they do not get swamped. lastly, we are doing a top to bottom review inside of the agency. all of the policies, all of the guidance, all of the regulations. everythi

those efforts also have broader weategic benefits, because are not just talking about courts adjudicating cases, but a fundamental system of values. disorderou deal with and violence and discord within a society, not through arbitrary dictates issued by a authoritarian governments. it is no coincidence that governments characterized by high degrees of rule of law commitments display higher levels of resilience to terrorism and terrorist ideologies. i think the reason is intuitive. systems based upon -- that af law gives call to violence is necessary to achieve political objectives. it is necessary that it is never necessary. multipleve citizens outlets for expressions of their concerns, it is even less appropriate. >> i'm so glad you mentioned the declaration on humanitarian islam and other projects you had singled out, some of the work in morocco and by the government and religious leaders. the work being done in jordan and in the uae. you mentioned the u.s. government has a role to play. could you elaborate a little on that? i take your point about the humidity -- humility and modesty t

stress to the commission the importance of procedural safeguards like local hearings and local adjudication to ensure parties directly affected by the proposal have the opportunity to air their concerns and have them considered in an open and reasonably close forum. it's because of these and other unresolved concerns that i continue to stand with the state of nevada in its strong opposition to restarting licensing activities at the yucca mountain repository. rather than forcing the state of nevada to accept nuclear waste as a scientificically unsound site, taxpayers would be better off to spend -- identifying their time viable alternatives for the long-term storage of nuclear waste in areas that are willing to house it. finding alternatives in this commonsense path forward as well as the fiscally responsible decision. now, the federal government should not waste another taxpayer dollar on yucca mountain. waste also amounts to $15 billion. an additional $82 billion would be needed to license, construct, and operate yucca mountain through closure, bringing the total system life cycle costs fo

adjudicating as many cases as they can comfortably, consistently with due process and making sure that nothing is slipping through the cracks. >> sound like a pretty big job. what are the biggest issues that were facing you when you took over as director of eoir. . >> the backlog, the number has gone up, tripled since about 2009. it's doubled since about 2012. and it's going up. we're trying to get a handle on it and making progress, but there's much more work to be done. the second issue is immigration judge hiring. there were several reports, including one that came out just after i got back to eoir. criticizing how long it takes for us to hire immigration judges. it was taking us 742 days on average, two years, almost two and a half years and we have been table to get that number one closer to more like the 10 to 12 month mark. there's room for improvement, but we're working on it and the third. eoir, i don't know if we're among the last agencies, but one of the last in the federal government. and we're one of the few in that use paper files and we identified the need for electronic

lou: it is being adjudicated before the world trade organization. this audience here heard the reports on that. >> let's understand why these tariffs -- lou: i'm going to ask the questions here, peter and i will seek answers from you. i feel somewhat irrelevant if you ask both the questions and provide answers. >> go ahead. lou: let's start with $50 billion. you are talking about a trade relationship that is over $600 billion in the trade relationship between the two countries. these are peanuts. this is knee nuts. so what -- this is peanuts. so what will be the impact of these 301ks if we get to june 15 and there is no deal? >> the purpose is to stop china from stealing the crown jewels of our technology. lou: too late. the trade war. >> the purpose of the tariffs targeted at the china 2025 industries, artificial intelligence and robotics. it to defend our industries that engage in research and development. china had has a predatory model where they come in and try to steal them from us. the purpose of the tariffs, and investment restrictions are t

because we're not just talking about courts adjudicating cases. we're talking about a fundamental system of values. that this is the way you deal with disorder and violence and discord within society. not through arbitrary dictates issued by authoritarian governments but rule of law. it's no coincidence that governments that are characterized by high degrees of rule of law commitments display higher levels of resilience to terrorism and terrorist etiology than other forms of government. and i think the reason is fairly intuitive. the reason why is fairly intuitive. democratic systems based upon the rule of law give lives to the claim that violence is necessary to achieve goals. it's never appropriate to use violence. in a system that gives multiple outlets for the expression of their concerns and opportunity to seek changes, it's even less appropriate. >> right. i'm so glad you mentioned the declaration on humanitarian islam and a lot of the other projects you singled out some of the work being singled out both by the government leaders there, the

so when, you know, i will take that hat off and become an adjudicator as a commissioner, but what that means is when someone is accused, no matter who they are, when someone is accused, i want to hear the facts, you know, i want to make sure those facts are solid. i want to hear all the stories, and that same sort of presumption applies for police officers as well, and as i shared with you, i was a former prosecutor for three years, and as, you know,, i had the same experiences as you, you know, i had, when i was prosecuting cases, i worked with many police officers, many incredible people that, you know, were great members of the community and , of course, there were a few who would be more difficult to work with. and the same were true that the prosecutors in my office. the same was true at the public defender so they worked with. i worked with some incredible defenders. there's always that one that, you know, or, you know, it's an adversarial relationship when you are part of the criminal justice system. but i really think it's possible and an adversarial relationship to still hold

this was adjudicated. the board of supervisors sets the rate at 25%. we look forward to the day that the projects come in at 25%. we haven't seen any yet. but i look forward to that. >> i'm not asking today. it's meaningful for us to continue this discussion and we're making progress. >> i encourage to you do it. >> why don't we have they go out in the hall for an hour, come up with something t so this we dont have to make a decision. are you open to that? >> they're not in a position to make a decision. they feel they have to go back to the coalition for a vote. they have other opportunities for appeal here. so given the december 7th deadline we're under to get a building permit out, to delay this hearing further and then for -- with a good chance of no settlement and then an appeal to the board of supervisors. there's plenty day of opportunity to negotiate. >> board of appeals. >> yeah. there's opportunity to do that during those 30 days. to avoid an appeal to the board of supervisors, i don't think it would be fair or fruitful to continue this matte

resolution to this board be on the things that we can adjudicate which does not include moving out? because we can't do that. that is a civil matter. so what would your answer to the question be? help us please. >> we have obviously strived to find the best solutions to the google tenant. sending us back to live in that condition is simply not acceptable. it is not livable. so that is kind of the baseline we have to work from here. we have come to the city hall to appeal for protection. we are not willing to work to move out of our home, but we have to. you simply cannot live in that environme environment. we sent out a message to google the very next morning for a meeting. they just met today. i sent in six emails. so essentially -- >> i'm sorry to interrupt, but we cannot adjudicate and offer you certain things and unfortunately you are going to ask for like relocate us. but what we can help you with is some scheduling requests or requirements or some of those things which are parameters based on the construction. so given those things, those other items that you are talking about

there are many reasons for this including a lack of clear guidance in adjudicating asylum claims, the evidentiary burdens to make such a claim. the fact is most of the aliens in the caravan should they come to the united states and claim credible fear would likely be released to await an asylum hearing that may be years in the future if they appear at all. this is not the only flaw in our immigration laws that renders our borders insecure. interpretations of the trafficking victims protection reauthorization act of 2018 have resulted in the release from removal of tens of thousands of minors from countries other than mexico or otm including many or most of all who were not trafficked to begin with. this provided incentives to trust those lives to smugglers and overtake the journey to the united states. a 20-year-old settlement agreement in flores versus reno has created a resumption that alien minors should be released into the interior of the united states. this provides greater incentives for legal entry and smugglers and cartels. finally a 2008 expansion of immigration has provided

our job in the white house is to make sure we press the administration's agenda down, adjudicate conflicts that come up. so one of the ways that i would urge that industry can help us in that regard is to go and engage with the departments and agencies. go to your customers, go to the people in defense department, and in nasa and in transportation and commerce and make sure that they know how their equities are being affected. this is most effective if it's done industry wide effort rather than an individual effort. when i was in the commerce department, one of the first things i said to the g.p.s. companies, i'm not smart enough to understand all of your competitive strat jiegiestrateg. i need you to come back to me with an industry position. i'm interested in having an industry viewpoint, that then the commerce department is act on. so the importance of groups like the satellite industry association and, you know, other groups, to go into the department agencies, that's how it then gets into the interagency when commerce and defense says we have a problem. that's something easier for me
