The Immigration Issue in Eight Charts By Kathryn Tam and Alicia A. Caldwell
	In many courts, hearings are currently being scheduled beyond 2021 before an available slot on the docket is found, according to Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University. In Houston, cases take an average of 1,751 days—or nearly five years—before their hearing is scheduled to occur. A judge decides if the immigrant can stay in the country or must be deported. The share of deportation orders had been declining since 2011, but started rising in 2017. External Link
