Immigration cases and a resulting immigration case backlog have only continued
to grow in San Francisco, California. Recent statistics from the
U.S. Department of Justice
show that the number of immigration cases received by the immigration
court in San Francisco increased by 11% between fiscal years 2014 and
2015. This equates to roughly an additional 1,250 cases added to the San
Francisco immigration court in 2015 over 2014. The vast majority of the
immigration cases - over 10,000 – were new notices to appear, or
immigrants newly charged with deportation. A much small number of new
immigration cases – 1,620 and 1,776, respectively – were bond
and motion requests. Not surprisingly, the immigration court in San Francisco
completed 12% more cases in FY 2015 than in FY 2014. The majority –
about 32% - of all immigration cases in the United States in FY 2015 involved
Mexican immigrants. The next largest groups of immigrants were from Honduras
and Guatemala, with the number of El Salvadoran immigrants not far behind.
These were by far the most common countries of origin of the immigrants
appearing in immigration courts in general in the United States, with
individuals from other countries like China, Ecuador, India, and a host
of other locations making up a relatively small percentage of the immigration
cases. The numbers of immigrants with cases in immigration court who are
represented by counsel has grown over the years. Whereas only 43% of immigrants
were represented by counsel in FY 2011, 58% were represented by an attorney
at some point in FY 2015. However, a large percentage of immigrants still
end up handling their immigration cases on their own, with no legal representation,
which can be very detrimental to the outcome of their cases. At
