#shorts During U.S. Senate hearing, Senator Lankford said: “If they request to go to New York, currently, right now, their next hearing time in New York is in March of 2033. So, it is 10 years before they get that hearing, and that’s not the final adjudication of it, as you know well. That’s just the ICE portion of it, and then they get in line to go after that. So, we could be 15 to 18 years before this asylum system is actually, before their asylum claim is actually adjudicated. Part of my struggle on this is when I visited with USCIS folks on this. If they’re not in the non-detained docket, which I have a whole legal question on that, if they’re in the non-detained docket, they’re not getting to them at all because their priorities on the detained docket rightfully so, because that’s where the law requires them to be able to do. But the non-detained docket, they’re not getting to. Don’t know when they’re going to get to. ICE has hearing set 10 years into the future to get to the first step of this process for them. This is clearly not working in the process.
