The backlog of pending immigration cases is now at its highest rate in 15 years, with 1,413 cases reported as of March 2026, according to new data obtained from the Department of Homeland Security, which was released on May 6 by an immigration tracking project based at Syracuse University. With three months left in this fiscal year, that backlog is virtually the same as the total for the entire 2025 fiscal year.
The average waiting time for a case to appear in Honolulu immigration court is now 19 months — four months longer than for the 2025 fiscal year, also the highest in 15 years.
