Immigration lawyers say judges aren't reading asylum motions
Original: Immigration law rant of the day: the IJs* aren’t fucking READING our MOTIONS. Too busy denying 94% of asylum application
An immigration lawyer is venting that immigration judges are denying asylum cases without reading the filed motions, pointing to a denial rate around 94 percent. The complaint describes hours spent refining legal arguments, only to receive denials claiming facts were never established when they were laid out in the filings. The post is drawing attention to frustration among asylum attorneys over what they see as dismissive treatment of cases.
Why now: High asylum denial rates and claims that judges ignore written arguments are fueling anger over the fairness of the US immigration court system.
