FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Greetings. Denials of asylum by immigration judges continued to rise last 
year. As of the end of September 2016, overall asylum denial rates for FY 
2016 had risen to 57 percent. The number of asylum cases decided by 
immigration judges last year also increased nearly twenty percent to 22,186 
cases, up from 18,581 cases decided in FY 2015.

An increasing number of asylum seekers are attempting to navigate the 
Immigration Court system without representation. Over the last ten years the 
unrepresented proportion of asylum cases decided had grown from 13 percent 
to 20 percent. Asylum is currently being denied in nine out of every ten of 
these cases. The odds of success were five times higher with an attorney.

Mexico had the largest increase (up 408%) in asylum seekers among those 
nationalities with large numbers of asylum seekers, while Haiti showed the 
largest drop (down 89 percent). Those from Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras and 
Guatemala had the highest denial rates.
