Between 2009 and 2014, the first six years of the Obama administration, immigration courts denied bonds between 51 percent and 60 percent of the time, according to data obtained by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. That changed in 2015 and 2016. In the administration’s final two years, denials dipped to 44 percent.
But since Trump took office, those denials have increased again, to 52 percent in 2018. Louisiana’s immigration courts are even more tightfisted, with a denial rate of 61 percent in 2018, compared to 41 percent in 2016.
