The United States has received a large number of asylum-seekers in recent years, and the responsibility of deciding many of those cases falls on the shoulders of Immigration Judges. This was disclosed here by Satnam Singh Chahal Executive Director North American Punjabi Association (NAPA) after getting the details from Transactional records access clearinghouse.
According to the information, TRAC analyzed 223, 469 total asylum decisions from 62 Immigration Courts and 492 Immigration Judges for six fiscal years from 2016 and 2021 and found that asylum outcomes continue to vary significantly from judge to judge and from court to court.Asylum cases are not distributed across the country evenly. Nearly half of all asylum decisions made during this time period were issued by Immigration Judges at just six Immigration Courts, including those in New York, San Francisco, Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and Baltimore. Judges in New York City alone issued nearly one in six of all asylum decisions, almost twice the number of the next busiest Immigration Court in San Francisco.
