The U.S. immigration system's backlog of 3.7 million cases will take at least four years to resolve, but the pace may slow significantly under new deportation plans.
Trump's mass deportation strategy could balloon the backlog resolution to 16 years, requiring new detention centers and extensive monitoring systems for immigrants awaiting court dates.
Experts estimate the costs of Trump's deportation plan could range between $150 billion to $350 billion, which would heavily burden taxpayers.
Even with a record 900,000 cases closed in the last fiscal year, the immigration courts will not clear all active cases until 2028.
