The Biden
administration’s controversial open border policies are slamming the
overwhelmed U.S. Immigration Court system, creating the largest backlog of
cases in history. A new report issued by Syracuse University’s
Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) reveals that the backlog
is “growing faster than ever, burying judges in an avalanche of cases.”
At the end of December pending cases reached a shocking 1,596,193,
according to government figures obtained by TRAC under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA). To put things in perspective, researchers point out
that if every person with a pending immigration case gathered, it would
surpass the population of Philadelphia, the nation’s sixth-largest city.
