According to projections based on data from the Department of Homeland Security, shared with Congress and reported by Axios, the number of migrants in the U.S. is expected to reach 8 million by the start of October. This represents a significant rise of 167% over the past five years, attributed to the policies of President Biden regarding the border situation. By September 30, at the close of fiscal year 2023, records showed over 6 million asylum seekers and other migrants on the "non-detained docket," which includes cases of noncitizens temporarily released from custody by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The administration foresees this figure increasing to 8 million by October 1. Among these, approximately 2 million people, a quarter of those caught in this procedural standstill, are individuals who a judge has already ordered to be deported or who face criminal charges.
The complexity of the immigration system allows migrants, even after receiving a deportation order from a judge, to appeal and contest this order. During the appeal process, the deportation is paused, as explained by the legal advice platform nolo.com. It's only after a subsequent ruling that the deportation order becomes final, allowing ICE to detain and remove the individual from the U.S.
