The U.S. Justice Department is developing plans to temporarily reassign immigration judges from around the country to 12 cities to speed up deportations of illegal immigrants who have been charged with crimes, according to two administration officials.

How many judges will be reassigned and when they will be sent is still under review, according to the officials, but the Justice Department has begun soliciting volunteers for deployment.

The targeted cities are New York; Los Angeles; Miami; New Orleans; San Francisco; Baltimore, Bloomington, Minnesota; El Paso, Texas; Harlingen, Texas; Imperial, California; Omaha, Nebraska and Phoenix, Arizona. They were chosen because they are cities which have high populations of illegal immigrants with criminal charges, the officials said.

A spokeswoman for the Justice Department's Executive Office of Immigration Review, which administers immigration courts, confirmed that the cities have been identified as likely recipients of reassigned immigration judges, but did not elaborate on the planning.

6. ...who have been CHARGED with crimes, rather than having been convicted of crimes.

Gotta read the fine print. Since they are here illegally, every single one can be deported. Technicality, you know.

If we really wanted to do the right thing, we would in fact deport those people here illegally IF they have been convicted of a felony crime. Not charged with. Not acquitted of. But CONVICTED of. But... isn't this what we were ALREADY doing?

But guys like Lou Dobbs and the other rabid anti-immigration fanatics have ginned up the rural masses. Won't they be disappointed when these deportations don't make their lives one little teensey bit better?

7. Just being undocumented means they can be charged and hence deported. FDT
