Need Immigration Papers? Try Your Luck at Manhattan’s Overwhelmed Federal Building
By Gabriel Poblete


New York has among the lowest rates of judges denying asylum cases compared to other cities with immigration courts, which advocates attribute to there being more access to pro-bono legal services for migrants here. For this fiscal year, judges in immigration court have denied asylum to just 16% of asylum cases, according to data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University, well below the 51.4% denial rate for the whole country.
