According to Boston 25, the US Department of Homeland Security has filed over 44,000 new deportation cases in immigration courts in the state in the first nine months of the 2024 fiscal year, which runs from October 2023 to September 2024.
While Kamala Harris has served as the "border czar" during her time as vice president, her initiatives have not stemmed the flow of illegal immigration. Her stern words "do not come" did not manifest in a reducation of migrants. Donald Trump has promised mass deportations, like those Massachusetts has undertaken, should he earn a second White House term.
The data, obtained from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University, revealed that the number of filings in Massachusetts immigration courts could reach nearly 59,000 by the end of September. The 2023 fiscal year saw 54,000 deportation cases, the largest number of filings in the state since 2001.
