In this Substack Live event, I break down the latest data from the immigration courts, specifically the shocking spike in asylum denials that reached new heights of nearly 80 percent in April. In addition to explaining the highlights of the article, I also provide new information about immigration enforcement practices at immigration courts and explain more backstory about the courts that didn’t make it into the post. Thank you
, , and many others for tuning into my live discussion.If you prefer to listen to an audio version of any of my Substack articles, the official Substack app offers a AI great read-aloud option that I use when reading some of my favorite writers like Robert Webber (whose writings on the visa system are the best in the business, my good friends at the Border Chronicle, or the always-courageous Rebekah Jones (geographer and Syracuse graduate!).
You can read the original post called “The Asylum Denial Machine” and see the data for yourself.
