So far this fiscal year, federal authorities have filed 60,343 so-called notices to appear for deportation cases in Atlanta, according to an analysis of immigration court data by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a research institute at Syracuse University. The people summoned to immigration court in Atlanta don’t all necessarily live in the metro area, many are also residents of other parts of the state. In 2023, there were 52,913 notices to appear in Atlanta’s immigration court. In 2019, before the post-COVID global migration surge, that number was 21,734.
Besides recent arrivals who illegally crossed the border, the yearly number of notices to appear also includes people who have lived here a long time or who moved to other states but have their court cases in Atlanta. But the data is still broadly reflective of trends at the border, and it provides insights on who the newcomers are.
This fiscal year, the biggest groups of people with new deportation cases in Georgia have been from Mexico (19,022), Venezuela (12,877), Guatemala (9,365), Colombia (4,710), and Honduras (3,664).
