America’s Reddest (and Stealthiest) Sanctuary State — Not So Stealthy Now

Subsequent reporting by the New York Times revealed that Utah officials are not keeping a tally of non-citizen arrivals, which makes perfect sense since the Utah Way dictates that everything be done quietly and under the table. Interestingly, these are the same officials who take great pride in their data-driven policy decisions and who never tire of saying that you have to be able to measure something in order to effectively address it. However, statistics from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University reveal that new proceedings filed in the Salt Lake City Immigration Court have increased by leaps and bounds since FY 2020. This is a clear indication that Utah is a prime destination for individuals who have recently crossed the border or who have exhausted the free benefits provided by other states.
