Real Courts, Rule of Law Act of 2026

The Real Courts, Rule of Law Act of 2026 would establish a new independent judicial system called the United States Immigration Courts under Article I of the Constitution, separate from the executive branch, to handle immigration cases. The bill creates a three-division structure—appellate, trial, and administrative—with judges appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for 15-year terms, and requires the courts to operate independently while maintaining a principal office in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. It affects immigration proceedings by transferring jurisdiction from existing executive-branch immigration courts to this new judicial system, ensuring judicial independence and structured oversight through en banc appellate division authority for administrative appointments and rulemaking.
