More information has come out regarding the ongoing amnesty being conducted by the petty kritarchs in the Executive Office For Immigration Review (EOIR), the administrative court system for immigration cases. The kritarchs are not just approving asylum claims that are clearly fraudulent, they are granting other relief in the deportation proceedings that they should not be doing, though the report is not clear what the alternative legal relief is. The report did expose thought the collusion between ICE SVU and the EOIR to drop deportation cases completely and just allow those illegal aliens to remain without legal justification. Charges are just dropped and the alien allowed to remain; no order from the court granting relief and legal status, no order of deportation, no deportation by ICE SVU.
This appears to be the return of the Obama Regime Administrative Amnesty, Immigration Court Amnesty, dismissing cases en masse to benefit illegal aliens. Remember, this is from 2010 [The Administrative Amnesty Goes Into High Gear, by Federale, Federale Blog, August 25, 2010].
This will be no surprise to those who followed the Immigration Court Amnesty through its many manifestations, old and new [The Next Amnesty, by Federale, Federale Blog, October 18, 2010; The Immigration Court Amnesty, by Federale, Federale Blog, November 11, 2010; The Immigration Court Amnesty, by Federale, Federale Blog, August 18, 2010; and More Evidence Of The Immigration Court Amnesty, by Federale, Federale Blog, October 27, 2011].
Come 2024, we find that Joe Biden is up to Barack Hussein Obama’s old tricks: Just dismiss the cases of illegal aliens in deportation proceedings and let the illegals free.
Crucially, we find that the majority of cases where the immigrant filed for asylum are getting closed out without receiving a decision based on the asylum application. In fact, so far in FY 2024, fully 65% of asylum apps are never actually adjudicated before case completion. pic.twitter.com/tlFpZawOsv

The Treason Bar shysters are spinning it another way, they are claiming that the overwhelming number of asylum claimants are winning their cases. Which is a deliberate and unethical lie, which is sanctionable under the various state bar ethics rules.
The latest Immigrant Court records show that over the past decade (FY 2014 to April 2024) Immigration Judges have adjudicated just over one million removal cases in which the immigrant filed an asylum application. Out of these 1,047,134 cases, Judges determined that 685,956 immigrants were legally entitled to remain in the United States because they merited asylum or another form of relief from deportation. Another 332,552 immigrants were ordered removed, and an additional 28,626 immigrants were issued voluntary departure orders. Thus, in total, only about a third (34%) of immigrants in removal proceedings who filed asylum applications were ordered deported while two-thirds (66%) were allowed to remain in the country.

Two-Thirds of Court Asylum Applicants Found Legally Entitled to Remain, TRAC, May 17, 2024
The claim that “685,626 immigrants [sic, illegal aliens] were legally entitled to remain in the United States…” is an outright lie. The anonymous author later admits that when he or she notes that most cases were instead dismissed, which is not an adjudication granting the alien asylum or other relief making them legal aliens. Instead, the illegal aliens who have their cases dismissed remain illegal aliens, as they are neither admitted or paroled. Any alien not admitted or paroled after arrest for illegal entry or upon an application for admission, remains the illegal alien that the initial charges that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) filed when bringing the alien to court after arrest and serving DHS Form I-862, Notice To Appear, on the alien informing the alien of the charges.
The rest were awarded other grounds allowing them to remain. Many of these were cases administratively closed through decisions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorneys under the administration’s policies of prosecutorial discretion. This was part of that administration’s efforts under the Secure Communities initiative followed by the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP). Persons who had been arrested or convicted of criminal offenses in this country were prioritized for removal. Because of the long delays caused by the Court’s backlog even then, to speed deportation orders on cases posing a threat to public safety, others including some asylum seekers had their cases administratively closed after review on a case-by-case basis.

The Biden Immigration Court Amnesty
The “Other” column is those receiving the Immigration Court Amnesty, and those are just concerning aliens who applied for asylum. It does not include other aliens who had their charges dropped and were allowed to remain without a legal status.
The Granted column, those granted some sort of legal relief, which does not always mean a grant of asylum, but other relief, such as suddenly getting married while here or an adult child appears to file an immigrant petition, is out of proportion to the numbers that should be approved.
The Red Column Is The Fraudulent Grants Of Asylum
The huge number of asylum or other relief decisions by the petty kritarchs is much too high. The former Chief Counsel for the legacy Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), Jan Ting, once testified to Congress that 95% of asylum claims were fraudulent. My experience is closer to 99% [Refugee Fraud Exposed, But Refugee Fraud Continues Unabated, by Federale, Federale Blog, February 7, 2022].
It appears that ICE SVU, in reality ICE Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA), is colluding with the petty kritarchs for a two-fisted amnesty.
