Immigration Courts Taking Longer to Reach Decisions

During the past year, Immigration Courts took 20 percent longer to act on cases before them than they did the previous year, according to government data obtained by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). The average number of days it took to dispose of cases decided during FY 2010 was 280 days, 47 days longer on average than completion times for FY 2009.
