1,350% jump in deportation orders for sham asylum claims by illegal immigrants

A majority of immigrants seeking asylum in the United States by claiming “credible fear” back home do not actually file for it once they are released into the country, resulting in a massive effort to find and deport them, according to the Trump administration.

Earlier this year, for example, Justice Department data provided to Secrets showed that 56 percent of recent immigrants who made “credible fear” claims had not taken the next step to file for asylum, raising doubts about their initial claim.
