Source: TRAC's analysis of proceeding-by-proceeding data provided in response to a FOIA request by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). The data were extracted from EOIR's files on September 27, 2010. Because of normal recording delays, the numbers for FY 2010 are preliminary and the figures are particularly likely to be under-reported for the July-September 2010 period. Proceedings closed by transfer and changes in venue were excluded from these counts. See About the Data for additional details.
