Immigrants are receiving very inconsistent court dates as they cross into the United States, with some being told to appear before an immigration judge within a year and others having to wait 10 years.
The Washington Examiner’s Kaelan Deese spent time along the southern border in Brownsville, Texas, last week following the expiration of Title 42 and described the consistency of processing procedures as an “entire mess.”

“There are some people that are receiving court dates maybe within a year or two years’ time frame, but it’s so inconsistent. There’s no consistency here,” Deese told Fox & Friends. “There’s people who have wives getting court dates two years from now, and they’re getting court dates five years from now. It is an entire mess.”
Deese tweeted a photo obtained showing one immigrant’s court date listed as April 13, 2027.
He said volunteers near the border explained that immigrants receive inconsistent court dates when they cannot show proper documentation of familial relation.

Deese added that of the documents he was able to view, not one immigrant’s processing form showed asylum-seeking due to facing any threats or torture.
“It’s essentially that everyone there was just claiming financial, economic harm,” Deese said. “That is one of the biggest things that an immigration judge will look at whenever they decide whether they can stay in the United States legally or not.”
