Unequal Outcomes: Most ICE Detainees Held In Rural Areas Where Deportation Risks Soar
By Yuki Noguchi


Immigration courts in rural areas deny many more asylum cases than those in cities, sending more detainees back to their home countries. Judges in rural immigration courts denied 87% of asylum cases, compared to 54% in urban areas, according to NPR analysis of data from 2013 to 2018 obtained by TRAC, a research project at Syracuse University.
