Over 150k new cases filed in U.S. immigration courts in July.
Record Number of Immigration Cases Filed in July
In July alone, U.S. immigration courts saw a staggering surge of over 150,000 new cases, according to data from Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). This means that an average of 4,800 migrants entered the country every day during that month.
The total number of new Notices To Appear for deportation hearings filed in July reached 150,578, which is three times the number of migrants the Biden administration initially planned to allow into the U.S. per month through the CBP One app.
So far this year, more than 820,000 migrants have been allowed into the country, surpassing the previous record set in 2022. All seven months of 2023 rank in the top ten months with the highest number of immigration court cases filed since 2000.
Migrant Crisis Intensifies
Former Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz revealed that hundreds of thousands of migrants have managed to slip past border authorities, with approximately 530,000 “gotaways” crossing the border since October. Limited agency resources have hindered the issuance of summonses to these migrants.
The end of Title 42, a COVID emergency rule that facilitated quick deportations, has further exacerbated the migrant crisis.
Impact on Cities and States
States and cities far from the border are grappling with the consequences of the influx of illegal immigrants. New York City, for instance, is struggling to accommodate the 55,000 migrants currently being housed, causing its homeless shelters to reach capacity. The city has already allocated $1.2 billion to support these migrants.
Mayor Eric Adams recently announced a plan to establish a tent city on Randalls Island to house up to 2,000 adult migrants. However, the crisis has left Adams frustrated, as he blames various entities, including Texas, the White House, and New York’s state government, for burdening the city with the migrant emergency.
In Massachusetts, the state has declared a state of emergency due to the shelter shortage caused by the migrant crisis. Officials have even appealed to residents to consider opening their homes to illegal immigrants.
The migrant crisis continues to unfold, posing significant challenges for both border authorities and the communities affected by the influx of migrants.
