The number of pending U.S. immigration cases is the highest in history.

Backlogged U.S. immigration cases exceeded 3 million in November, according to new data from Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, TRAC, of Syracuse University.

The number of cases increased by 1 million from November 2022 to November 2023, TRAC reports.

That is the most ever and is attributable to the thousands of migrants who entered the Southwest border in the spring seeking asylum prior to the lifting of Title 42 by the Biden administration.

“Immigration judges are swamped,” the TRAC report said.
