Rising deportation orders in fast-moving courts
The Trump administration is increasing the use of "mega" immigration court hearings to address a backlog, resulting in overburdened courts, shorter preparation times, and a rising rate of missed hearings and deportation orders. Over 1,300 such hearings occurred in June, with some cases lasting less than five minutes, leading to more immigrants being ordered deported in their absence and claims being abandoned. While advocates say the strategy speeds up case resolution and reduces the backlog, experts warn it risks compromising due process and potentially deporting valid claims.
