Nebraska’s immigration court system has the second longest wait time in the nation. The average time people wait for a hearing where a judge decides whether they are deported is 821 days, eclipsing the national average of 611 days.
That trails only Colorado, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a nonprofit watchdog at Syracuse University. Nebraska’s wait times have been on the rise since 2009, more than doubling. The number of backlogged cases has hovered around 5,000 in recent years.
