Abstract
Immigration Judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals have long fought for the ability to manage their dockets efficiently, often using administrative closure to prioritize high-impact cases and de-escalate low-priority removals. This article explores how the codification of administrative closure safeguards this critical judicial tool against shifting political agendas. By examining the history of administrative closure, from its contentious beginnings to its recent formalization, this article highlights why its preservation is essential for protecting vulnerable immigrants while maintaining judicial efficiency.
