Overall, the immigration court system faces a backlog of 3.5 million cases.
Migrants line up to be transferred by US Border Patrol after having crossed the Bravo River in El Paso, Texas, as seen from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua State, Mexico, on April 18, 2024.The move comes as President Joe Biden faces election-year pressure to control an unprecedented level of migration that polls show is a top issue for voters.
The docket will include individuals who are released from custody with notices to report to court in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City, the officials said. Judges will then aim to complete the cases within 180 days. Many immigration cases can currently take multiple years before a judge orders deportation.
Biden administration officials continue to urge Congress to reform the system more broadly, suggesting the announcement Thursday is more of a patch to the broader issue of soaring court backlogs. The officials Thursday could not say how many individuals would be placed on the new docket and questions remain about how much of a difference a new docket could make without more resources and judges to staff the courts.
