Rapid immigration court decisions increase deportations
The Trump administration has accelerated immigration court proceedings to clear a long-standing backlog, leading to a surge in mega hearings and a significant increase in missed court dates and deportation orders. In June, over 1,300 such hearings were held, nearly tripling from the previous year, while court scheduling reductions have limited immigrants’ preparation time from six months to just over a month. This has resulted in more immigrants being ordered deported in their absence, with deportation orders rising substantially and many asylum claims being considered abandoned, raising concerns about due process.
