The county program that offers free legal representation to people detained by ICE in San Diego County was launched partway through 2022.
Since then, in the past two fiscal years, Otay Mesa judges denied asylum in roughly 67% of cases, according to data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse of Syracuse University, which gathers government data through public records requests.
Judges at the receiving courts denied asylum in 74% to 95% of cases in that same time period, the data show.
The court with the highest denial rate during that time period was Adelanto, in San Bernardino County.
