Record-Breaking Immigration Backlog in the U.S.

The United States is currently facing its highest-ever backlog of immigration cases, surpassing 3 million in November, as reported by Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University. This represents a one million increase from November 2022 to November 2023. The surge is primarily due to the influx of migrants entering the Southwest border seeking asylum before the Biden administration lifted Title 42.
