There are stark contrasts in the typical outcome reached in Immigration Court cases for immigrants residing in different communities.

Among the five counties in the country with the highest volume of cases, Queens County in New York City had the highest proportion of immigrants who were granted relief and the lowest proportion who were ordered removed from the country. Cameron County in Texas stood in sharp contrast. Immigrants there had the highest proportion ordered removed and the least granted relief. An important factor in these differing outcomes was whether or not immigrants were able to find attorneys to represent them.
