| Dramatic Fall Continues in New Immigration Court Cases | ||
| (13 Aug 2024)
New Immigration Court cases continue their dramatic fall following President Biden’s June 4, 2024
proclamation severely restricting entry for those seeking asylum. In July 2024 case-by-case court
records compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) show new cases fell to just
83,018. This is less than one-third (31%) of the number of new cases which arrived last December 2023
– a drop of over 180,000 cases.
The drop occurred for immigrants from most countries. Six months ago the largest number of new Court cases were from Venezuela. In December 2023 immigrants from Venezuela made up one out of every five new cases, and totaled 54,549. By June their numbers had dropped to 13,085, over 40,000 fewer. Immigrants from Mexico, in second place as the most numerous during December 2023 dropped from 44,650 that month to 16,302 during June. Guatemalans who were the third most numerous in December dropped from just over 25,000 to under 7,000 in June. Numerically, the largest drop in receipts occurred for Immigration Courts in Texas (down over 25,000), New York (down over 21,000), and Florida (down over 20,000). Minnesota and Tennessee Immigration Courts had the largest proportionate drop in new filings. July numbers were less than 25 percent of their respective arriving cases last December.
