200K Migrant Cases Tossed After DHS Fails to File Paperwork

Deportation cases were dropped against approximately 200,000 migrants because the Department of Homeland Security under President Joe Biden failed to file thousands of notices to appear before their court dates, leaving immigration courts no jurisdiction to handle deportation cases or rule on asylum claims, a new report says.
"These large numbers of dismissals and what then happens raises serious concerns," according to the document, released by the Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), the New York Post reported Wednesday night.
It was "troubling" there was an "almost total lack of transparency on where and why these DHS failures occurred," the nonpartisan research organization commented in the report.
"Equally troubling is the lack of solid information on what happened to these many immigrants when DHS never rectified its failure by reissuing and filing new NTAs to restart their court cases," it added.
