Transactional Research Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) of Syracuse University has decided information provided by the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), the DOJ agency that oversees U.S. immigration cases, is inaccurate and not reliable and won’t be used going forward in public reports, TRAC Co-Director Susan Long told Border Report on Monday.
The announcement comes just as the “Remain in Mexico” program is being re-implemented and court watchers are eager to track cases of asylum-seekers who are being sent back south across the border to Mexico to wait out their case proceedings.
“We have a major research project tracking what’s going on in immigration courts and we have been increasingly concerned with the quality of EOIR — which is the agency within the Justice Department which manages the immigration courts – with the quality of their data and we have uncovered a number of problems,” Long said via Zoom from her office in Syracuse, New York.
