A growing number of judges are rejecting deportation requests by immigration officials, says a new report by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.

The report, based an analysis of immigration records between 1998 and 2010, says that in the last three months of fiscal year 2010 – in other words, July, August and September – immigration courts rejected one out of three requests to deport people.

The requests were made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, more commonly known as ICE.

“This turndown rate is up from what it was – one out of every four – 12 months earlier,â€

The immigration judges are owned by the immigration lawyers. The system is corrupt and we need to move immediately to regular state courts to process people for deportation orders. Prosecutors will file the request and regular judges who process drunks, speeders, thieves, trespassers, bad debt borrowers and vandals will hold Deportation Hearings in as matter a fact by the book procedures that they process everyone else.
