NOISE: Immigration Court Efficiency Measures

+15 BALANCED
IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Monitor whether 'mega' hearings reduce individual case review time enough to constitute due-process violations, and track any watchdog or ACLU reporting on outcomes from these expedited hearings.
Why This Score
This is a routine administrative/procedural adjustment to immigration court scheduling with no clear mechanism, no institutional capture, and minimal rights impact beyond standard due-process concerns already litigated elsewhere. It lacks the drivers, durability, or precedent-setting weight to score meaningfully on List A, and shows low intrinsic hype or strategic distraction value for List B.
