"The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) today announced the appointment of Stacy Stiffel Paddack as an administrative law judge (ALJ). ALJs at EOIR hear immigration-related employment cases in the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO), and do not hear removal cases in the immigration courts.
“We are excited to have Administrative Law Judge Paddack join our team and fill this critical position,” said Chief Administrative Hearing Officer Robin M. Stutman. “Her arrival will increase OCAHO's capacity to adjudicate employer sanctions and anti-discrimination cases, thereby expediting the recovery of worksite enforcement fines and remediation of illegal immigration-related employment discrimination.”
