Under Trump, Bay Area immigration courts deny asylum claims at soaring rates By Ethan Varian |
|
From President Donald Trump’s first full month returning to office in February through August, federal immigration judges in San Francisco and Concord denied 54% of the 4,019 asylum cases they decided, according to the latest data from University of Syracuse’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a nonpartisan research center that collects and analyzes immigration court data. During the previous seven months, when Joe Biden was president, the courts rejected 26% of 3,355 cases. |
