The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University in New York released findings Wednesday afternoon that revealed the DHS had not filed the required documents, known as notices to appear, in immigration cases before the scheduled hearing date, which means the court has no jurisdiction to address the deportation.
“These large numbers of dismissals and what then happens raise serious concerns,” the report stated. “Troubling is the almost total lack of transparency on where and why these DHS failures occurred. Equally troubling is the lack of solid information on what happened to these many immigrants when DHS never rectified its failure by reissuing and filing new NTAs to restart their Court cases.”
The analysis revealed that the most affected courts were those in Miami, Houston, New York City, Chicago, and Orlando, where the courts were forced to wipe out between 5,000 and 18,500 cases at each location because legal protocols had been neglected by the DHS throughout the Biden administration.
