Only about 30 percent of migrants are now able to find a lawyer to represent them in legal proceedings, compared with 65 percent five years ago, according to an analysis by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a research group at Syracuse University. The backlog is also evident in immigration courts, where judges average 4,500 pending cases each, according to the Syracuse University records. The Congressional Research Service has estimated that it would take about 1,000 more judges to tackle the current backlog by fiscal year 2032.
