Actually I think the figure is more like 85 or 87%, I'm still looking for DHS numbers, but this from Center for Immigration Studies is interesting, and I'm saying that because CIS has a penchant for always fudging their numbers to be pro-immigration.

From 1996 through 2015, removal orders for failure to appear numbered 918,098. Among those who absconded from court were 3,095 aliens from the 36 countries that promote terrorism. A disproportionate number — 338 altogether — came from those countries the U.S. State Department labels state sponsors of terrorism: Iran, Sudan, and Syria. As populations from countries that promote terrorism have increased since 9/11 — from naturalized citizens, immigrants,3 and refugees4 — plots and acts of Islam-inspired terrorism have also increased, more than twice as many under Barack Obama than under George W. Bush. Unexecuted removal orders now number 953,506 — a 58 percent increase since 2002. An average of 25,107 unexecuted orders of removal were added each year through 2015.5

The Center for immigration studies is actually where I found my

right wing outlets seem to think the number is just below 50%

figure.

Their most recent study on the subject from January first found that

  • 43 percent of all aliens free pending trial failed to appear for court in 2017.
  • Since 1996, 37 percent of all aliens free before trial disappeared from court.
  • Aliens abscond from court more often today than they did before 9/11.
  • Deportation orders for failing to appear in court exceed deportation orders from cases that were tried by 306 percent.
  • 46 percent of all unaccompanied children disappeared from U.S. immigration courts from 2013 through 2017.
  • 49 percent of unaccompanied children failed to appear in U.S. immigration courts in 2017.

(https://cis.org/Report/Immigration-Courts-Aliens-Disappear-Trial)

This is obviously also from two year old data, so benefit of the doubt on recent numbers still stands.

Right and in addition with the number of cases being completed at a faster rate than ever ( considerably up from 2016 ) it stands to reason that those numbers would be increasing also.

I honestly think they are getting that number out of the immigration/border security hearings in front of congress, I believe that's where I heard it originally, Kirstjen Nielsen, so I would look on cspan for that last hearing she testified at.

I'm honestly surprised 1 out of 10 bother to show up. I expected 1 out of 100.
