This research was conducted with support from the National Science Foundation (Grant No.
SES-1655497), the American Bar Foundation, and the Multidisciplinary Program in Inequality
and Social Policy at Harvard University. I thank TRAC for sharing the administrative data sets.
For their generous and thoughtful engagement with previous drafts and/or data analysis strategy.
Data on immigration court proceedings were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) to the EOIR. These data include all immigration court proceedings through 2016 and are organized at the
case level, with a case often consisting of multiple proceedings. To conduct the analysis, I link three separate sets of records: (1) removal proceedings, (2) applications for relief, and (3) appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals. By combining these records, I can track the trajectory of an individual case from the initial master calendar proceeding through applications for possible relief and the appellate process.....[Citing TRAC data and research].
