Lines snaked around the block outside immigration courts across the United States on Wednesday. But many people standing in them later learned they had no reason to be there.
More than 100 immigrants showed up to court carrying paperwork ordering them to appear before a judge, only to find out that their court dates hadn't actually been scheduled, according to the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA)....
...Attorneys say the practice began after the US Supreme Court ruled in June that notices to appear -- the charging documents that immigration authorities issue to send someone to immigration court who's accused of being in the United States illegally -- must specify the time and place of proceedings in order to be valid.
Since then, immigration lawyers across the country have reported that officials are increasingly issuing such notices with so-called "fake dates," ordering immigrants to appear at hearings that, it later turns out, were never scheduled in immigration courts.
In recent months, lawyers have reported examples of notices issued for nonexistent dates, such as September 31st, and for times of day when courts aren't open, such as midnight.

Uh huh.
It seems to be more than just one ooops. Like a series. Hmmm Intentional???? Wouldn’t that be a hoot! hahaha
Honestly, I think this is another great argument for an immigration moratorium.
More than 100 immigrants
Really? ALL OVER the country lines snaked, yet a little more than 100 immigrants showed up? Seems a little incongruent.
On the other hand Trump had at least a mile long line waiting all day to get into his rally tonight.
what a cartel wants, what a cartel needs...
CNN story — I don’t believe a word or it.
And 50 of those in the 100-person “line” were media dupes reporting on how incredibly big it was.
“Deliberate or just careless? “
Resistance movement.
you caught that too? 100 people, over 10 courts, but lines everywhere by golly!
Welcome to my world...interloper.
Remember: Don’t forget to vote next Tuesday. Democrats vote on Wednesday.
ICE should be hanging out around these buildings
I can believe the claim. They deliberately messed up every other aspect of the system, why not this one also?
that’s not the point - truth or not, they will be trying to use this as a talking point come tomorrow morning. We need to pivot this overnight so that CNN doesn’t control the narrative, we do. Such as, out of a backlog of over 1/2 million cases, we have 100 errors? Or, each form should have an identifier of the typist whose work will be reviewed upon submission of evidence, blah blah.
The court officials are corrupt and complicit in NOT scheduling the hearings so that more people disappear into the U.S. Yet another good reason to not allow more immigrants in so that they can disappear with no contact information.
Deep State?
What would be funny is if illegals all had court all day next Tues. Dawn til 9:00pm
