Biden administration quietly erasing immigration court caseload: ‘De facto amnesty’ | Washington Examiner

By Thomas A. Smith

Congress hasn t passed it, but [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas s chief lawyer at ICE is telling all prosecutors to dismiss cases. Once it s dismissed, they re not required to check in with you anymore,” said the ICE federal prosecutor who spoke with the Washington Examiner on the condition of anonymity.

Since President Joe Biden took office, the number of noncitizens encountered attempting to enter the country illegally has soared, surpassing 2.75 million encounters as of last month. In that time, U.S. border officials took custody of and released into the United States 1,049,532 people, according to Justice Department court documents filed over the past year. Those released by the Border Patrol are told to show up to court about their immigration violations, an indicator of how many of the 2 million backlogged cases are from the Biden administration and how many others are being dismissed.

Does anybody know what the actual number is? Surely at least one illegal immigrant must enter the US for every one that is “encountered” by Homeland Security. I would guess more.
