Nearly 70% of asylum claims that U.S. immigration judges ruled on in the government’s fiscal 2019 were denied, continuing a sharp uptick from 45% in the early 2010s, according to a nongovernmental tracker.
Data released Wednesday by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a nonpartisan data research center at Syracuse University, showed federal judges decided 67,406 requests for asylum. Of that number, judges found 46,735 claims were illegitimate and that those asylum-seekers had not suffered or were not in fear of persecution for race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. That denial rate has quadrupled from less than 10,000 in fiscal 2014. The fiscal year runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.
Judges granted protection in the remaining 19,831 cases of migrants who arrived at the United States-Mexico border and claimed a credible fear of returning home, double the number approved five years ago. It’s not clear how many total migrants sought asylum in 2019.
The average asylum applicant who went before a judge last year waited 1,421 days, or nearly four years. Eight-five percent of approved requests had outside legal help. Chinese citizens made up the largest nationality of people whose requests were granted, at 3,600.
“With rare exception, asylum-seekers whose cases were decided in FY 2019 also showed up for every court hearing. In fact, among nondetained asylum-seekers, 99 out of 100 (98.7%) attended all their court hearings,” TRAC wrote in its analysis.
