Omaha’s court is one of more than 60 immigration courts nationwide, which are run by the U.S. Department of Justice. The court serves Nebraskans and Iowans who have been charged with violating immigration law and placed in removal proceedings. It currently has 26,469 open cases on the three immigration judges’ dockets, and those cases have been pending for nearly three years on average — making Nebraska the state with the second-longest immigration court backlog in the nation, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), a Syracuse University project.
