New deportation cases brought by the Obama administration in the immigration courts have been dropping steadily since 2009, and judges have increasingly ruled against deportations, leading to a 43 percent drop in court-ordered deportations in the last five years, according to Justice Dept. statistics released Wednesday. The steepest drop in deportation cases filed came after 2011, when the Obama regime openly announced its policy of “prosecutorial discretion” to reduce the number of illegal and criminal aliens deported. At the same time, the share of cases in which increasingly liberal judges ruled against deportation and allowed aliens to stay in the U.S. has consistently increased, to about one-third last year from about one-fifth in 2009. More foreigners are getting lawyers and fighting deportation, given the increasingly pro-alien bent of the judges and the possibility of an impending mass amnesty whether by act of Congress or edict by Obama. Even when ordered deported, many aliens ignore the order and remain in the U.S.
