Migrants seeking asylum in New York City are struggling to find lawyers
By Annie McDonough


Migrants who are able to get as far as submitting an asylum application have a stronger chance of being granted that relief in New York than in some of the southern states that bused them here. In fiscal year 2022, New York judges granted asylum roughly 81% of the time, according to data analyzed by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. Nationwide, that rate was 46%.
