The record number of apprehensions along the border is contributing to a growing backlog in immigration court. The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse maintained by Syracuse University shows a current backlog of nearly 1.6 million cases. TRAC data shows, nationally, it takes an average of 2.5 years for a case to make its way through immigration court, and adds more cases are being added at a faster pace. In Houston immigration court, it can take just over three years for a case to be decided.
