President Donald Trump is overseeing a massive uptick in requests to reopen previously closed deportation cases, according to data published this week by BuzzFeed News (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/hamedaleaziz/trump-deportations-immigration-ice-dhs-courts).
With less than two months to go in fiscal year 2018, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lawyers have asked federal immigration judges to reopen nearly 8,000 cases so far — almost twice the rate under President Barack Obama.
There were 8,400 requests to reopen closed cases in FY 2017, which included the last four months of the Obama administration. That was a marked increase from the 3,551 requests in FY 2016 and the 3,551 requests in FY 2015.
