Number of Unrepresented People in NYC Immigration Courts Marks 18-Year High
By Giulia McDonnell Nieto del Rio and Rommel H. Ojeda


At the end of the 2023 fiscal year (Sept. 30), the immigration backlog stood at approximately 2.8 million cases, according to TRAC. But as of the end of April, the backlog reached more than 3.5 million cases — the highest it has ever been. And as the backlog has grown, the rates of representation have decreased nationwide, from 65% at the end of the 2019 fiscal year, to just 30% at the end of the 2023 fiscal year, according to TRAC.
