* All years are fiscal years. According to the source, administrative closures were included to calculate the failure to appear rate. However, beginning in the fiscal year of 2010, due to a larger percentage of administrative closures not relating directly to failure to appear, this rate is calculated using immigration judge decisions and in absentia orders only.
Data prior to 2013 has been taken from previous reports which can be found here.
Rates from 2014 onwards calculated by Statista using data provided by the source.
