Immigrants navigating the U.S. justice system are increasingly intimidated by federal campaigns of fear and misinformation, contributing to significant declines in court attendance. Advocates highlight a concerning trend where only about 10% of scheduled immigrants are appearing for their hearings, leading to automatic deportation orders. Critics argue that changes from the Trump administration have exacerbated fears, discouraging individuals from pursuing legal avenues for asylum or legal status, despite the absence of recent enforcement operations at courthouses.
Due to the spread of misinformation and fear, only a fraction of immigrants have shown up for their scheduled hearings in recent months...only 10% typically appear.
This is a massive change that's happened in just the past couple of months due to the policy changes by the Trump administration...people are afraid to access their day in court.
