I read your article, its from the DOJ and the years they cited were ex-rodent in chief years. It also is talking about people seeking asylum.
"
Those seeking asylums - also called asylees - have been the most cooperative group; 11 percent of them didn’t go to their hearings in fiscal 2017. DOJ records show that 43,013 people seeking asylum had court hearings scheduled in 2017, and 4,776 didn’t show up,
Over a five-year period, 10.1 percent of asylees were no-shows. There were 130,092 hearings scheduled, and 13,130 people didn’t come.
Not everyone accepts the DOJ figures. The Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that favors stricter immigration laws, says the federal government is undercounting the no-shows and, in a 2017 study, contended that 37 percent of immigrants during the previous 20 years missed their court dates."
There was an 85% no show number floating out there for awhile which was based off of something an Arizona member of congress said and was contradicted by the DOJ's numbers. Looking at the DOJ numbers makes me inclined to believe they are BS though. Only 43,013 people applied for asylum in FY 2017 (or 130,092 over a five year period). Sorry, I think that number is way higher then the above Politifact numbers. I'm sure there is some categorization of asylum seekers that pushes the real percentage down and favors the DOJ number of 89% showing up. Probably not the 80% I read about last week, but it dam sure is higher than 37% that the DOJ admits to over the five year period cited above. I would also be interested to know once an asylum seeker is told "no asylum" are they re-released to self deport or are they immediately taken into custody and deported. If its the former, then yes they met their court date, but if left to their own devices to leave do they? If they don't than the number above is absolutely meaningless.
What concerns me more than who does or doesn't show up is this information.
In an exclusive report on the The Ingraham Angle last evening (Fox News 10 P.M. E.T.), U.S. attorney Zachary Terwilliger broke major news about the DOJ’s brand new report on the number and costs of the incarceration of illegal aliens in federal custody. The segment, and the comments by Terwilliger, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and Ingraham further expose the Left’s persistent lie that illegals in the U.S. commit additional crimes at a lower rate than U.S.-born citizens.
A brief article posted at Fox News dot com, immediately following Ingraham’s program Tuesday, summarized the segment:
Nearly 60,000 known or suspected illegal immigrants [sic] are being held in federal prisons, according to a report obtained by Fox News Tuesday from the Department of Justice.
Quoting the report, he said “criminal aliens” make up 21 percent of those in the Federal Bureau of Prisons custody and 38 percent of those in Marshals custody.
Terwilliger lamented that a “staggering” amount of resources are being diverted to fighting illegal immigration at the expense other problems like a rising opioid epidemic and rising crime rates in certain areas.
Adding context to this latest news is the fact that tens of thousands of illegals who have managed to make it across the border are being released into the country every month, and “hundreds of thousands” of illegal aliens who committed additional crimes remain free in the U.S.
Hopefully, the new DOJ report on the massive number of illegal criminals in federal custody will be given the wide attention that it deserves. The report, it should be noted, does not include illegals who are in jails and prisons at the state and local levels — a number that is “significantly greater,” according to Ingraham, than the number of criminal illegal aliens in federal custody.
Terwilliger said the next report from the DOJ on the problem should address the financial cost to the federal government of dealing with illegal alien criminals. He estimated, however, that the cost of the U.S. Marshals Service having to deal with illegals (who are in custody awaiting trial, for example) is $500 million a year, which does not include the costs due to illegal aliens incurred by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The fact that we have this kind of data at all is due to the actions of President Donald Trump. As the Center for Immigration Studies reported in an article on June 12, 2018:
Five days after his inauguration, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13768 entitled “Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States.” In this order, he required the government to release certain documents detailing the effects of illegal immigration. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice began releasing the quarterly Alien Incarceration Report.
Taxpayers are getting killed on this bull crap. If someone wants asylum they should have to apply at a more robustly staffed embassy or consulate in their country and stay put until they are declined or accepted. By giving them an option of showing up on the border and claiming they need asylum. Here is a nice article on that process;

"In practice, that system often kicks in when people like the Fredys come face to face with immigration authorities and express a fear of returning to their home country. A trained U.S. official then interviews them to judge whether their fears are believable. In fiscal year 2018, roughly 89% of asylum seekers passed this initial “credible fear” screening, according to federal data. But the odds narrow from there. Asylum seekers are assigned a date to plead their case in immigration court, which imposes a high burden of proof. This year, judges granted asylum in only 17% of cases decided in immigration court where migrants had passed credible-fear interviews.
What happens to asylum seekers who are not granted refugee status? That’s where the political fight really heats up. The Trump Administration says the problem is that after asylum seekers pass their credible-fear interviews, they are released from custody to await their date in immigration court—a -system Trump calls “catch and release.” With a backlog of 791,821 cases, new court dates are often months or years in the future. In fiscal year 2018, immigration judges completed just over 34,000 cases originating with a credible-fear referral, according to federal data. In nearly a third of those cases—10,534—migrants failed to show up at their scheduled court hearing."
By making them apply in their own country, it also puts the human smugglers semi out of business
