Utah has seen a spike in migrants. Here’s where they likely live.
By Megan Banta


The number of migrants listing a Utah address for their immigration court cases increased more than sixfold from 2021 to 2023, based on data available through the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. Until 2006, there were fewer than 1,000 new immigration cases filed across Utah. The number hasn’t dipped below that since, and jumped past 3,000 cases in 2019 before spiking to nearly 11,000 cases in 2022 and almost 20,000 in 2023. That was a 548% spike from 2021 to 2023 and an 81.9% jump from 2022 to 2023.
