Why does the executive branch have its own, non-judiciary judges? Is this not effectively a conflict of interest for them?

He's not a judge. We works for the DoJ reviewing immigration cases. No idea why anyone is calling him that, but it seems everyone is doing so. Fucking weird.

It's language the Office of Immigration uses. They sit at the head of a court, decide on cases, interpret policy. Sounds very judge-like.
