| TRAC Report on Immigration Enforcement |
(24 Aug 2005)
TRAC Report on Immigration Enforcement was released on August 24, 2005.
Prosecution of immigration
cases have surged sharply higher between FY 2003 and FY 2004, but typical
sentences slumped. The decline in sentences imposed on immigration
violators appeared to be related to changes in the kinds of cases being
sought by federal agencies rather than the discretionary decisions of the
judges. The authoritative Justice Department data — backed up in
part with information from the courts — show considerable variation
in the enforcement trends in different parts of the country, with a
massive jump in one judicial district. See
the report.
