Immigration courts under Trump are issuing a record number of removal orders at a record pace, growing the pool of deportable aliens. In June we saw the highest volume of cases closed and the highest amount of removal orders.

Courts went from a handful of cases across days to over a hundred per day, with the lead time dropping by months.

The practice of mega hearings is leading to larger dockets and faster cases than ever, while asylum granted remains near zero and overstays are now a target of significant fines or arrest by ICE.
