San Diego immigration court ‘overwhelmed’ by ‘Remain in Mexico’ cases By Kate Morrissey |
|
Immigration judges are already working under pressure from performance quotas set by the Trump administration to reduce the immigration court backlog, which has grown nationally to nearly 900,000 cases, according to data from the Transactional Record Access Clearinghouse of Syracuse University. The San Diego court has more than 5,700 cases pending, up from 4,692 cases in fiscal 2018, a 22.4% increase. Nationally, the backlog has grown about 16.2% in fiscal 2019. |
