Despite the heightened anti-immigrant rhetoric, the latest available data from the U.S. Justice Department show that during the federal fiscal year ending Sept. 30, the government reported 59,910 new immigration prosecutions. According to the case-by-case information analyzed by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University, this number is down 14 percent compared to the previous fiscal year when the number of criminal prosecutions totaled 69,636.
