U.S. immigration courts have 130,442 open cases of Mexican citizens that could be deported.
According to official figures compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) of the University of Syracuse, the figure is higher than at the end of the fiscal year 2015, when the U.S. courts had 130,425 cases of Mexicans.
This means that the total number of cases of Mexicans in U.S. immigration courts has increased since Barack Obama took office as president in January 2009. In 2008 there were less than 41,000 cases and 1998, 29,000.
