The Trump administration celebrates how fast judges are completing immigration cases. But in Utah, the backlog is still high. As of March, 49,192 cases were pending in the Salt Lake City Immigration Court. That’s down from 50,027 at the end of September, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, which obtains Executive Office for Immigration Review records through Freedom of Information Act requests.
Utah cases have been pending for an average of 752 days, a little over two years, according to the clearinghouse. Judges’ calendars are nearly full through 2029, said immigration attorney Adam Crayk, who’s in court almost every day.
