Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) has conducted a research study and found that since July, asylum grant rates have dropped, coinciding with the increase in expedited cases. The fiscal Year 2022 had the largest number of individuals granted asylum of any year in immigration court history, yet researchers found that the faster the cases went through the courts, the lower the asylum seekers’ chances.
