In June alone, nearly 4,500 removal orders were handed down, up sharply from earlier in the year. While officials claim these mass sessions are meant to clear the backlog, lawyers say they’re undermining due process, especially since many immigrants never receive proper notice — a loophole recently upheld by the Supreme Court. Nationwide, over 54,000 deportation orders for missed hearings were issued in June. Experts urge immigrants to constantly monitor their case status online or by phone, and to hire an attorney to navigate the system. If you miss a hearing, your next step is often filing a motion to reopen your case — a complex, high-stakes process where staying informed is your only real defense.
