Hundreds of immigration cases in Minnesota are sitting in limbo as the partial federal government shutdown continues with no end in sight, adding pressure to an already clogged system and leaving immigrants and their lawyers uncertain when hearings will be rescheduled.
A new report released this week says nearly 1,000 cases’ hearings have been canceled so far in Minnesota — among more than 42,000 hearings that have been canceled across the country. There will be another 20,000 cancellations each week the shutdown continues, according to the report by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). That would leave as many as 100,000 people affected by the end of this month if the shutdown isn’t resolved by then.
