NYC ICE office ‘fully booked’ for migrant appointments through late 2032: document

[Gary Rich 284]

New York City’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office is “fully booked through October 2032” for appointments to process migrants released at the southern border, according to an official document exclusively reviewed by The Post — making the Big Apple the ideal destination for migrants with dubious asylum claims and causing a massive headache for those with valid ones.

The backlog means migrants may have to wait almost a decade just to enter the immigration court process — which is beset by further delays stretching out years, sources said.

That is a lot of data, the articles I have seen tend to confuse multiple issues.

 

If I read it correctly the 10 years is just to get to the first interview. I have seen people who have commented about waiting 7 years before this. And of course this is just the start of the process, I could see it taking decades by which time of course other opportunities could have arisen.

Depends I suppose if resources are redirected, there will be definitely be some additional load no matter what happens, most will want EAD etc. Most cases on here will not be involved with ICE or the Courts anyway. Those that are yes.

 

It will be what it will be.

 

It does make me wonder about how the people who work there respond, OK you are getting paid and you have a job for life but must seem pointless.

so 4,900 will hit the immigration offices 150 days after entry in NY to apply for work permits /  yeah,  be will be a trickle down effect as what happens to those with cases in NY offices to AOS and ROC legally
Pretending i am one of these 4,900 and i read that article saying most are refuse asylum (71% in 2020 and 63 % in 2021 and knowing NYC has the largest population of immigrants from all countries,  religions and races/  I would connect with others from my country and disappear into the illegal community (forget applying for anything ) and just work under the table .  i would become one of the over 11 million illegals as the US can not afford to find and deport them all.

ICE hits the places like chicken processing plants with a bus regularlly and deports the ones found with no green card on them BUT these people return ASAP to the US 

Not quite sure what the federal government can do or is willing to do .  i am just glad it isn't up to me as the issue is overwhelming

[Boiler 45,735]

I have no idea what the number is, I seem to recollect it has been 11 million for as long as I can remember

 

If you can have EAD for at least 10 years, probably a lot longer, I would go for that.

I just believe this whole thing effects every aspect of immigration (looking from the outside i had no clue ) but being right in the middle of this process my eyes are open, (and this can effect costs..  cause somebody has to pay for it )

But within saying that, waiting 10 years for something could be like being in prison.  but hey what do i know🤷‍♂️

[Boiler 45,735]

Depends on what you are waiting for I suppose, there seems to be a lot of confusion most of it deliberately caused. Especially when you have such a vague process, always wondered if I would have a good claim for asylum using the most generous interpretation.

 

Anyway not as if anything is going to get better anytime soon. More likely to get more interesting.

we're already paying 

Federal government bused them to so many places and is housing them in hotels

i wish i could find the article i came across about 2 years ago about ICE getting the big portion of our legal immigration fees as ICE operates under HSI under DHS

 

among the fact they ICE is holding $204 million in bond mone

 

 

How much funding does ICE get?

approximately $8 billion

The agency has an annual budget of approximately $8 billion, primarily devoted to three operational directorates — Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA).Jan 18, 2023

 

DHS has 22 divisions including FEMA (????? )   its quite interesting to read about all this / i started with the following online site and then onto the library for books on the subject including this one 

National Interoperability Field Operations Guide (NIFOG) Version 2.01 March, 2022: Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency - DHS Paperback – March 1, 2022

I understand you. Like i have a friend whom is living in Haiti. Her uncle has summited paper for her arrive here. I keep telling her even tho the US making someone easy for you to her here, there still will be a long wait.

I guess what i'm trying to say is that, any little bubble in the immigration process can have grave effect on the whole process.

[Boiler 45,735]

Humanitarian Parole is for 2 years, sort of like a long visit visa with working privileges.

 

I wonder what happens after the 2 years are up.

In short, the full cost of USCIS operations cannot be as directly ... DHS will transfer funds annually from the IEFA to ICE's appropriations

 

Under Trump was the one i read ''

https://www.migrationpolicy.org/news/uscis-fee-hike-could-be-latest-step-reshape-immigration

 

By proposing an application fee for certain asylum applicants, the elimination of most fee waivers for low-income applicants, and a rare transfer of more than $100 million out of the agency’s adjudication services to fund stepped-up enforcement by another agency (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE), the Trump administration would alter key underpinnings of longstanding immigration fee policy.
