Nolan Rappaport: Even with no new arrests, it would take four years to eliminate immigration court backlog

Nolan Rappaport on The Hill explains why the Trump administration is seeking to increase the use of expedited removal and related devices.  “Even with no new arrests, it would take four years to eliminate immigration court backlog.”  According to Rappaport, the administration’s “immigration enforcement program is failing because of an immigration court backlog crisis. If he doesn’t eliminate that backlog soon, the population of undocumented aliens will be substantially larger when he leaves office than it was when he began his presidency.”
