Though there are two kinds of asylum -- affirmative and defensive -- not all asylum claims arise from migrants arriving at the border. An immigrant may claim affirmative asylum within one year of their last arrival in the United States or request a defensive asylum while fighting an order of deportation.
According to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University, a research center that collects and analyzes data on immigration court activities, so far in 2021 there have been 15,320 asylum decisions in which 10,578 cases were denied relief and 4,488 in which humanitarian relief was granted. Twenty-five cases resulted in other forms of relief.
