Nearly 1 Million Migrants Staying ‘indefinitely’ In US Under Biden-Harris ‘quiet amnesty’: House Panel; New Report Reveals Massive Number of Illegal Immigrants Benefiting from Biden-Harris Admin’s ‘quiet Amnesty’

Nearly 1 million migrants staying ‘indefinitely’ in US under Biden-Harris ‘quiet amnesty’: House panel:

Almost 1 million illegal migrants have been given “quiet amnesty” under President Biden and Vice President Kalama Harris, according to an eye-opening House panel report.

The House Judiciary Committee released a 16-page report Thursday revealing that more than 700,000 migrants have had their immigration cases dismissed, terminated, or administratively closed as the US grapples with an overwhelming surge at the southern border under the progressive administration.

In addition, the Department of Homeland Security failed to even file the necessary documentation
to begin immigration court removal proceedings in roughly 200,000 cases, the report found.

“Through administrative maneuvering at both the Justice Department and DHS, the Biden-Harris Administration has already ensured that nearly 1 million illegal aliens can remain in the United States without the possibility of deportation — and that trend shows no sign of stopping,” the Republican-led committee said.

The data compiled by the House committee — which tracked immigration cases between Jan. 20, 2021, and June 30, 2024 — found that the vast majority of the migrants had their cases dismissed, with a total of 459,356 cases dismissed over the almost four-year period.

Meanwhile, 172,645 were terminated and 71,465 cases were administratively closed.

That is a whopping 575% increase from the more than 104,000 migrants who had their cases dismissed, terminated or administratively closed under the Trump administration, according to a Post analysis of data.

Just 90,692 immigration cases were terminated under former President Donald Trump’s term, according to data compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. That figure also includes those cases that were dismissed, as the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review didn’t split the two categories prior to the Harris-Biden administration.

An additional 13,590 were administratively closed under Trump, according to data obtained by the House Judiciary Committee.

Over 85% of the record-breaking number of asylum seekers apprehended crossing the besieged southern border under the Harris-Biden administration were being released into the US pending immigration hearings, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted in January.

Roughly 700 immigration judges then oversee the sprawling EOIR migrant docket, which hit an all-time high of more than 3 million backlogged cases as of December 2023.

As a result, Attorney General Merrick Garland — who was appointed by President Biden — restored the policy of “administrative closure” in July 2021 by reversing Trump-era restrictions. He argued that the decision would let judges focus on “higher-priority cases.” —>READ MORE HERE

New report reveals massive number of illegal immigrants benefiting from Biden-Harris admin’s ‘quiet amnesty’:

Nearly 1 million illegal immigrants are staying in the U.S. “indefinitely” after their cases were dismissed or closed, or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) failed to file the necessary documentation, according to a new House Judiciary Committee report being released on Thursday.

“Through administrative maneuvering at both the Justice Department and DHS, the Biden-Harris Administration has already ensured that nearly 1 million illegal aliens can remain in the United States without the possibility of deportation — and that trend shows no sign of stopping,” the report by the House majority on the committee, first obtained by Fox News Digital, says.

When illegal immigrants are encountered, they can be put into removal proceedings by which they will eventually face an immigration judge to have their case decided. There are around 700 immigration judges across the U.S., and they currently face a backlog of millions of cases after the historic crisis at the border.

The report cites briefings to the committee, which staff say revealed that over 700,000 illegal immigrants have had their immigration cases dismissed, terminated or administratively closed in immigration court during the current administration, “allowing those aliens to stay in the country indefinitely without facing immigration consequences.”

Additionally, it says that the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), which oversees immigration courts, reported over 109,000 cases as not adjudicated in FY 23, meaning they were completed but not adjudicated on the merits of the claims.

Additionally, as previously reported, DHS has failed to file the necessary documentation for 200,000 additional cases, “meaning that the overwhelming majority of those aliens can also remain in the U.S. indefinitely.”

“Instead of actually adjudicating illegal aliens’ cases based on the merits of aliens’ claims for relief — such as whether an alien has a valid and successful asylum claim — immigration judges under the Biden-Harris Administration have been tasked with rubberstamping case dismissals, case closures, and case terminations, all of which allow illegal aliens to remain in the United States without immigration consequences,” the report says. “This sort of quiet amnesty has become a staple of the Biden-Harris Administration’s immigration courts.” —>READ MORE HERE
