Today’s landscape reveals a sharp divide between those seeking justice and the systems designed to stall them. Our analysis of the latest data shows that for many immigrants, the constitutional right to a speedy hearing has been effectively suspended by judicial backlogs, forcing human beings to choose between indefinite detention and self-deportation.
