That level of detail is commonplace in the public records for criminal arrests. But it’s often not easily accessible, or even discussed, in an immigration court system that logged more than 15,000 bond requests or hearings in January and February this year. That’s three times the number it handled during the same stretch in 2025, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University, the nonpartisan court watchdog.
Two percent of charging documents filed by the government in February said individuals should be removed based on alleged criminal activity, according to an analysis by TRAC. The other 98% of cases were over alleged violations of immigration rules, like entering the US without inspection or staying past a visa’s expiration.
