ONLY ON ABC-7: Backlog of immigration cases will get worse, attorney says By Mauricio Casillas |
|
As the number of immigrants facing deportation increases, so to does the backlog in immigration court. The federal building in Downtown El Paso can be a dreaded sight for undocumented immigrants - it is where limbo begins. The backlog of pending immigration court cases is at an all-time high, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. As of April 2017, nearly 600,000 cases were unresolved across the country - 6,000 of those cases in El Paso alone. |
