The Biden administration is deporting migrants at an unprecedented pace, driven by a high backlog of immigration cases, hindering Donald Trump's anticipated deportation plans.
In fiscal year 2024, federal judges closed almost a million cases—914,000 to be exact—in immigration courts, marking a 36% increase from the previous year.
With a backlog of 3.5 million cases pending, including 1.7 million asylum requests, the immigration system is facing a monumental operational challenge going forward.
Notably, nearly four out of ten cases reaching immigration judges result in a deportation order, reflecting the intensified focus on deportation under the Biden administration.
