The backlog of immigration cases is nearly 1.5 million and growing, according to the Transactional Research Access Clearinghouse, a data research organization based at Syracuse University that tracks immigration reports. Virginia’s 69,120 pending immigration cases are the sixth-most in the United States, according to the group. That is a nearly seven-fold increase in the past decade.
TRAC Immigration data shows that as of July, more than 1,500 pending cases from the Roanoke Valley are waiting to be heard in Virginia’s immigration court.
