Backlogged courts and years of delays await many migrants
By Zolan Kanno-Youngs


The backlog of immigration cases grew to 1 million in 2019 during the Trump administration, but it has since increased to more than 2 million cases, according to data collected by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. The average time to close an immigration case is about four years, according to the database. But some judges say they have cases that have been pending for more than a decade.
