Immigration Court Backlog Prevents Mass Deportations

President Donald Trump can’t deport illegal immigrants at a pace higher than President Obama due to a massive immigration court backlog.

The president has signed executive orders to increase deportations and monthly immigration arrests have increased by an average of 28 percent compared to the final three months of the Obama administration.

However, deportations are occurring at a slower pace under Trump largely due to an immigration court system with a backlog of over 600,000 cases.
