In recent developments, the Trump administration's efforts to clear a decades-long backlog in immigration courts have led to a significant increase in deportation orders. The administration is assigning large numbers of cases to individual judges, resulting in a rise in missed court dates and immediate deportation orders. Details on the impact of this trend are available from sources tracking immigration court data.

According to one nonprofit, the number of "mega" master hearings has seen a substantial increase this year, with over 1,300 held in June alone. Further information on this issue can be found through sources such as KPRC 2 and Click2Houston, which have reported on the trend and its effects on immigration courts nationwide.
