According to a recent House Judiciary Committee report, nearly 1 million illegal immigrants are currently residing in the United States indefinitely due to various reasons such as dismissed cases, closed cases, or missing documentation from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The report highlights that under the Biden-Harris Administration, administrative maneuvers have allowed these individuals to avoid deportation, with the trend showing no signs of slowing down.
When illegal immigrants are encountered, they can be placed into removal proceedings to have their cases decided by an immigration judge. However, the backlog of cases faced by the approximately 700 immigration judges across the country has reached millions, exacerbating the situation.
