Breakneck pace in immigration courts is driving up deportation orders
The Trump administration is accelerating immigration court proceedings by scheduling high-volume 'mega' master hearings to address a backlog, leading to a surge in missed court dates and deportation orders. Data shows a threefold increase in these hearings since June 2018, with reduced preparation time for immigrants, resulting in unprecedented rates of deportation and abandoned asylum claims.
