Immigrants filed tens of thousands of lawsuits in Trump’s first year
By Anna Giaritelli


More than 41,000 lawsuits were filed in the 12 months leading up to March 2026, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at New York’s Syracuse University, a nonpartisan data research center that analyzes federal immigration statistical information. In March alone, 9,911 new lawsuits were filed in federal court and showed no sign of reversing course. The dramatic surge is “striking” and “unusual,” TRAC noted.
