A non-partisan academic group’s new report published on Wednesday claims that about 200, 000 deportation cases have been dismissed as a result of President Joe Biden’s administration’s failure to file applicable court documents.
The Department of Homeland Security’s role in enforcing U.S. immigration laws by issuing illegal immigrants a Notice to Appear (NTA ) and filing paperwork with Immigration Court is an “essential step” in the immigration enforcement process, according to the report, which was released by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse ( TRAC ).
TRAC noted that the Department of Homeland Security starts deportation cases after an illegitimate immigrant files paperwork with immigration judge and receives an NTA from the government. However, according to information obtained by TRAC, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security failed to submit documents to the Immigration Court in almost 200, 000 cases.
The report claims that over half of the imprisonment cases in Miami, Florida, and Houston, Texas, have been dismissed under the Biden presidency according to documents never being filed appropriately. Additionally, the report revealed that the proportion of immigration cases that courts at the Immigration Court dismissed substantially increased after Biden became president in 2021. In 2020, only 3.3 % of immigration cases were dismissed, compared to 10.6 % in 2021.
” These large numbers of rejections and what next happens raise severe worries”, TRAC wrote.
Although the proportion of cases dismissed by immigration courts has decreased since 2021, TRAC reported that the number of scenarios dismissed in 2022 and 20023 was considerably higher than the number of scenarios dismissed in past decades as a result of the Biden administration’s substantial increase in illegal immigration.

The federal government has the authority to record a new situation against an illegal immigrant, perhaps if a case is dismissed because the document cannot be filed by a specific court date, according to The Daily Wire. TRAC’s data shows that the Department of Homeland Security declined to use this option in about 75 % of cases.
This suggests that in three out of these 200, 000 circumstances, the refugee was essentially left in legal limbo without having to apply for asylum or other forms of relief, according to TRAC.
TRAC noted that the report provides an “incomplete image” as a result of national emigration agency restraints in providing additional information.
No details about why and where these issues occur have been made available for public by DHS, according to TRAC in the document. The almost complete lack of transparency regarding the location and causes of these Government failures is troubling. Likewise troubling is the lack of accurate information on what happened to these numerous refugees when DHS failed to reissue and submit new NTAs to resume their Court situations.
