This is the Board of Immigration Appeals -- not an actual court. The ALJs that sit on the Board are not truly independent -- they work for DOJ and thus ultimately for the AG, at least wrt performance standards (incl. case quotas).
The article goes on to clarify what the attorneys were talking about -- Last year DOJ cut the authorized number of ALJ slots on the Board from 19 to 11 (budgetary constraints) -- but at the same time upped the case clearance quotas and (given current events) are pressing forward hard with many deportation cases.

Ah. This makes more sense, then. The department trying to deport determines the outcome of appeals based on presentations made by the department trying to deport?
No, wait, that makes no sense . . .
Let me guess - they're illegals, so no Con protections?
