According to data compiled by researchers at Syracuse University, more than two million people are waiting for their Immigration Court case to be heard across the U.S.
Arizona is 23rd when it comes to the number of immigration court cases backlogged this fiscal year.
In total, there are 17,353 pending cases in Arizona, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) data compiled by Syracuse through Freedom of Information Act requests.
The states with the highest backlog include Florida and Texas, each with more than 300,000 immigration court cases pending, according to the data.
As for how long it takes to get a hearing, researchers estimate the average time in Arizona to be 663 days, which is about a year and 10 months. That’s down from a high of a more than two year wait in fiscal year 2021.
