The number of people granted asylum in immigration courts hit a historic high this fiscal year under the Biden admin.'s adjustments to the asylum process. But only 7% of families whose cases were moved to the front of the line got asylum, data shows.
The Biden administration plans to end Title 42 by aDec. 21 deadline. Many people who arrive at the border, including those who cross illegally, turn themselves over to border enforcement officers and ask for asylum. Officials expect increases in the number of migrants crossing the border as the expulsions end.
The administration set a goal of issuing decisions in the dedicated docket cases within 300 days, which the Biden administration has been successful in meeting. Asylum cases this year are taking an average of 275 days to complete , starting from the date that a notice to appear in immigration court is issued, TRAC reported.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, part of the Department of Homeland Security, deals with cases of people not in removal proceedings. Asylum officers can refer cases it rejects to the immigration courts. TRAC found that more than three-quarters of cases the agency had rejected were granted asylum by the immigration courts.
The number of people who received asylum grants increased in 20 of those 21 countries. Only Cuba did not see such an increase.
