During removal proceedings, immigration judges (IJs) determine whether such individuals (respondents) are subject to removal from the United States, and if so, whether they qualify for relief or protection from removal for which they have applied (e.g., asylum). Respondents who fail to appear for their hearings are ordered removed in absentia. This Insight reviews immigration court case outcomes for FY2023, including removal case decisions, in absentia removal orders, and asylum application decisions. Another Insight describes FY2023 caseload data, including case receipts and the pending cases backlog. Removal Case Decisions Possible outcomes for removal cases include Removal Order: The IJ orders the respondent removed; DHS is responsible for removing the foreign national from the United States to his/her country or to a third country. Dismissal: DHS may move to dismiss proceedings against the respondent (e.g., as a matter of prosecutorial discretion). Termination: The respondent may move to terminate a case if the charges on the Notice to Appear (NTA) are substantively or procedurally defective; the IJ may also terminate a case if he/she determines the respondent has established eligibility for U.S. citizenship. Relief granted: The IJ grants the respondent a form of relief from removal-such as asylum (described below) or, less commonly, cancellation of removal. Voluntary departure: The respondent may request to leave the United States during a specific timeframe at his/her own expense without being ordered removed.
