North Carolina ranks last in the country for the likelihood of having legal representation in immigration cases, according to a report from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. It also ranks 10th for total pending deportation cases.
According to the data, there are more than 34,000 pending cases in the state, but only around 8,000 of them have an attorney involved. The odds of legal representation for immigration cases are at 23% for North Carolinians.
That compares to California that tops the list for pending cases with around 193,000. But 77% of the immigrants in those cases have an attorney.
