Description

The Department of Justiceäó»s (DOJ) Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) is responsible for conducting immigration court proceedings, appellate reviews, and administrative hearings to fairly, expeditiously, and uniformly administer and interpret U.S. immigration laws. This report shows that the EOIR case backlog -- cases pending from previous years that remain open at the start of a new fiscal year -- more than doubled from fiscal years 2006 through 2015 primarily due to declining cases completed per year. The report addresses (1) what EOIR data indicate about its caseload, including the backlog of cases; (2) how EOIR manages and oversees immigration court operations, including workforce planning and hiring; and (3) the extent to which EOIR has assessed immigration court performance, including case continuance data. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
