The lead plaintiff in the Jennings case is Alejandro Rodriguez, a lawful permanent resident who came to the U.S. as an infant. After being detained by the Department of Homeland Security, he spent more than three years in detention without a hearing. He missed the birth of his daughter while he fought to stay in the country.
Rodriguez’s situation is not unusual: The average wait time for immigration cases to be resolved is 708 days, up 25 percent since 2014, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.
