At the end of 2023, immigration courts had a backlog of more than 3 million cases, which Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse notes is more than the number of people who live at Chicago.
Many of those cases involve migrants who were apprehended at the border and applied for asylum. In about half of the cases over two decades through 2021, TRAC found judges either granted asylum or provided a form of immigration relief.
