Why Immigrant Deportations Dropped 30 Percent In Northwest
By Liz Jones


A KUOW review of immigration court backlogs suggests another possible reason for the steeper decline in Northwest removals. In Washington and Oregon courts combined, the average time to process a case increased by about 100 days from 2011 to 2013, according to the nonprofit federal data tracker, Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. That could mean the process – rather than deportations – are slowing down.
