How should we define a mega master immigration court hearing? Setting a threshold, a time window, and the rules behind counting 100+ master calendar hearings in EOIR data, plus the June 2026 surge.
You are ignoring the fact that only half of those scheduled show up and that the liberal judges are constantly rescheduling individual merits hearings multiple times for the alien to obtain an attorney. Everyone knows that the alien is just attempting to delay any final decision and uses the MCH to delay and delay. Most don't show up because they know their claim is a lie, but their goal was entry and release, so they can enter the underground economy. If they get an EAD, then they are set for decades as they have a legitimate Social Security Card and can get a REAL ID. Even if deported those documents last for years and being in the underground economy is pretty much what they expected. And the Immigration Judge is the highest variable in approval of asylum. Some judges had as high as 98% approval rates of asylum claims, while the national average is 42%. All this fixation with making up a formula to show that MMCH are bad is just nonsense. The aliens know it and know they are exploiting a system designed for Mikhail Baryshnikov not some Colombian or Mexican lying about persecution.
I would like stats on how many judges had how many master hearings in each court in a month. I am interested in caseload and putative throughput being demanded of each judge in each court.

They have an annual minimum for completed cases and must hold all scheduled Master Calendar Hearings they are given.
