Immigration judges have rejected roughly 200, 000 deportation cases since President Biden’s administration because the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS) failed to submit the required” Notice to Appear” (NTA ) by the time of the scheduled hearing, according to a report released on Wednesday.  ,
DHS’ records up to February 2024 are included in the report from Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse ( TRAC ), which tracks immigration case data and backlogs.  ,
The filing of an NTA in immigration judge is a critical step in the emigration police operation, according to TRAC, a nonpartisan data getting business.  ,
The NTA serves as a formal demand for an immigration determine to use a treatment order and explains why DHS thinks a special immigrant may be deported.  ,
TRAC studies that DHS’s failing to file an NTA prior to a scheduled hearing was uncommon, but that number increased as a result of Border Patrol agents and other DHS personnel’s access to the immigration judge’s Interactive Scheduling System.  ,
DHS employees were unable to plan immigration judge hearings prior to the agency’s NTA filing deadline due to this. The court would then schedule a case that technically did n’t exist, wasting valuable time while examining the remaining 3,5 million immigration cases.  ,
In turn, refugees may get left in legal limbo. Without legitimate means, those who could attend a court hearing would be unable to file an asylum state, which requires work permits.
Houston and Miami were deemed to be notable hotspots for the situation because they have accounted for 50 % or more of new cases dismissed since Fiscal Year 2021, despite the fact that the situation varied throughout the country.  ,
TRAC points out that court rejections for absence of an NTA peaked in 2022 but dropped in 2023 despite this condition continuing into 2024.  ,
