The U.S. legal system is handling such a large amount of immigration cases, several will not make it to trial until 2020.
There are currently 478,675 pending immigration cases in the U.S. court system, according to data tracked by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). Mexicans are the most represented nationality with 117,653 pending cases.
Many cases currently on the books will only be addressed well into 2017, and others will even have to wait until 2020, according to the National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ). The federal immigration courts have 277 judges on the bench handling these many cases. The ratio of judges per case is 1 to 1,815.
