Not exactly related to the Southern Border, but still illegal immigration related, and shows the incompetence of DHS.
200,000 Immigration Court Cases Dismissed Because DHS Failed to File Paperwork
Approximately 200,000 deportation cases have been thrown out by Immigration Judges since the start of the Biden administration because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) hadn’t filed the required Notice to Appear (NTA) with the Court by the time of the scheduled hearing. Without a proper filing, the Court lacks jurisdiction to hear the case and the immigrants, often asylum seekers, lack a way to move their case forward.
These large numbers of dismissals and what then happens raise serious concerns. This report brings DHS’s record up to date through February 2024 with the latest available data. It first examines whether the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been improving its performance so far during the current fiscal year. Next, using Court records that had not previously been released, it then traces whether DHS officials issue and file new NTAs for these same individuals to rectify their original filing failures.
