Official numbers seem to support that. According to a Law360 analysis of data published by Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, a research center at Syracuse University that collects official government statistics, the number of removal orders issued across the country nearly doubled from almost 25,000 in December 2024 to nearly 49,000 this July.While deportation orders issued in absentia rose steadily throughout the Biden administration, peaking at 223,000 in fiscal year 2024, an average of nearly 18,600 per month, the monthly average has reached 24,308 during the first three quarters of the current fiscal year, a pace that is set to yield a new record.
According to data captured by TRAC, 72% of noncitizens who were ordered deported in New York City in July were issued removal orders in absentia. In Dallas, that percentage reached 89%.
