🔥We just published a brand new report, authored by @Ingrid_Eagly and @stevenshafer, proving that the overwhelming majority of immigrants show up for their court hearings.
The report puts to rest years of false narratives about immigrants missing court.

Our new report also reveals that when immigrants *do* miss court, it's often through no fault of their own.
15% of all orders of removal issued from 2008-2018 were later overturned—and that number will rise over time.

Orders of removal for missing court can only be overturned:
- If the government failed to provide notice, or
- Within 180 days, if a person missed court due to "exceptional circumstances."
The fact that 15-20% are later overturned suggests massive failures to provide notice.

In 1996, when Congress created mandatory detention of asylum seekers and others, it said detention was needed to make sure people showed up in court.
Today's report makes clear why this is not true. People show up for their hearings.
