According to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University, the immigration court system had 3,318,099 active cases pending at the end of February, 70% of which — more than 2.3 million — correspond to asylum-seekers awaiting hearings.
With millions of families trapped in legal limbo, the demand for immigration lawyers far exceeds the supply of legitimate legal services. As of March, only 32.8% of immigrants had lawyers when deportation orders were issued, according to TRAC data.
