Trump Administration Speeds Immigration Hearings, Raising Missed-Court Orders
Mobile Pathways said no-show rates doubled to 40% as deportation orders jumped from about 33,000 in January 2025 to 79,000 in June.
- The Trump administration is packing immigration courtrooms with "mega" master hearings and reducing notification times to clear backlogs, causing a surge in missed court dates and immediate deportation orders nationwide.
- Dozens of immigrants' cases are assigned to individual judges daily through the Executive Office of Immigration Review, with more than 1,300 such hearings held in June alone—a nearly threefold jump from the previous June.
- As hearing notice times shrunk, the national no-show rate doubled to 40% by this June, according to Mobile Pathways. Deportation orders surged to about 79,000 that month, often deeming asylum claims "abandoned."
- Veteran attorney Jaime Diez recently faced almost 20 cases in one day, calling the rapid pace a threat to due process. Other advocates report immigrants receiving deportation orders while confused inside courthouses.
- Andrew Arthur, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, calls the strategy a necessary "time-saver" to clear the backlog, though critics warn the compressed schedules risk denying due process and burning out judges.
