The claim that 90% of asylum-seeking families show up to court is ignoring much of the data.
53% of families who pass a credible fear approval don't even bother to file an asylum claim after.
The authors at @immcouncil failed to include any of these cases in their calculations.

Further, 62% of the cases they analyzed were still pending when @immcouncil published the report.
How can you publish a report about a pool of statistical data when only 38% of it is complete?
