Since President Donald J. Trump returned to office, the United States has launched the most aggressive and successful immigration enforcement overhaul in modern history — and that extends to immigration courts.After four years of Biden-era chaos turned immigration courts into de facto amnesty factories for unvetted illegals, the Trump Administration isremakingthe broken system.
President Trump took decisive action, replacing activist judges — who slow-walked deportations and granted asylum at sky-high rates — with professionals committed to enforcing the law, not undermining it.
No more activist judges shielding criminal illegals. No more endless delays. Only results.
Asylum grant rates have collapsed:Under President Trump, asylum is now granted injust 7%of cases — a historic low, plummeting from over 50% rubber-stamped under Biden.
Deportations and removal orders are surging:In fiscal year 2025, immigration courts issued nearly 500,000 removal orders — a57% increaseover the prior year — as criminal illegals are removed faster and in far greater numbers than ever before.
The massive court backlog is being slashed:Hundreds of thousands of cases have already beenclearedsince Inauguration Day, with reductions accelerating every month — ending the years-long delays that let illegals remain indefinitely.
Overall enforcement is delivering results:More than three million illegals haveleft the countryin President Trump’s second term — the largest reduction in illegal immigration in modern history — whilezero illegalshave been released at the border for 11 straight months.
President Trump promised to end the open borders nightmare — and he is delivering on that promise with unrelenting force.The era of catch-and-release, mass releases, and activist judicial amnesty is over.
