Indian American judges appointed to U.S. immigration courts

Two Indian American attorneys have been appointed as immigration judges in the United States, according to recent announcements. The appointments were made by the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review.

The new judges will preside over cases in immigration courts located in different parts of the country. Their roles involve adjudicating matters related to removal proceedings, asylum claims, and other immigration-related disputes.

These appointments reflect the growing representation of the Indian American community within the U.S. legal system. Both appointees bring extensive legal experience to the bench, having worked in various capacities within the immigration law field.

The Department of Justice did not provide further details about the specific judges or their court assignments at the time of the announcement.
