Via a press release:

Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker along with Reps. Jim Cooper and Marsha Blackburn today joined Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall in urging federal officials from the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security to install an immigration judge in Nashville to speed up the process and reduce the cost of removing illegal immigrants, such as the approximately 700 processed since April 2007 who were arrested for at least one serious crime such as homicide, robbery, aggravated assault or burglary.

    Article III

    Section 1. The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish

    Congress can establish the courts NOT THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS

    They are asking for an immigration judge that is within the Dept of Homeland Security. The judge is an administrative judge that is within the department and is not a part of the judicial branch. Many/most departments hold administrative hearings and have administrative judges. The departments are given this ability by Congress.
