Immigration attorneys and immigration rights advocates are hopeful a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court will help bring down the historic number of cases backlogged in our immigration court system. KPRC2Robert has more on this. immigration kprc2
According to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse maintained by Syracuse University, there are 2.3 million cases pending in immigration court. TRAC data also shows it takes an average of 686 days for a case to work through the immigration court system.
“Without a doubt, it’s going to help,” said immigration attorney Raed Gonzalez. “They’re giving an assurance that these are the ones that we need to get out now. These are the important ones that we should concentrate on. So everybody else, it’s not a priority at this time.” Immigration attorney Charles Foster echoes Gonzalez’s statements but warns that just because a case is deemed a low-priority for removal, or even dismissed, doesn’t mean it can’t be resurrected if the priorities of a new presidential administration change.
“The impact is very dramatic, but the decision was really more based upon understanding whether or not the states actually had standing to challenge a federal immigration policy,” said Foster.
