Migrants are still flowing into the US at a record-setting pace, with over 150,000 new cases filed with US immigration courts in July alone.
The record setting month saw three times more than the 45,000 number the Biden administration says is the maximum the administration would allow to enter the country per month via its CBP One app system.
The 150,578 Notices To Appear (NTAs) for deportation hearings filed according to data compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University.
Thats equivalent to 4,800 people every day in July.
The filings represent appointments made by border officials when asylum seekers are first admitted to the US so they get to plead their cases.
They are often scheduled months and years in the future.
The figures show 85,782 cases were referred to the courts for Entry Without Inspection — which includes those who have illegally entered the country and then been arrested between land border entry points by Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Under the Title 8 processing which is in place at the border, migrants should be deported and banned from the US for five years if caught entering the country illegally.
The July stats show 64,306 cases referred on Other Immigration Charges, which would include all those legally admitted under the CBP One app scheme, which requires migrants to arrange a sponsor and make an appointment with border officers before arriving in the US.
Alongside them are a small number of other cases referred to immigration courts such as terrorism and National Security charges and aggravated felony or other criminal charges, but they make up less than 0.5% of the cases.
Figures compiled by TRAC show all seven months of 2023 in the top ten months with the most filings made with immigration courts since they started collating records in October 2000.
Each month indicates between 80,000 and 150,000 people added to the immigration court system.
Totaled they make over 820,000 admitted to the US in 2023, already beating 2022’s record setting figure of 797,800.
