In last night’s presidential debate, Donald Trump claimed that 99% of immigrants fail to appear in court.

This is patently false.

Here are the facts:
According to our research, more than 95% of immigrants with lawyers show up for court—underlining the vital importance of publicly-funded legal representation programs at local, state, and federal levels such as the SAFE Initiative and #NYIFUP. https://www.vera.org/publications/due-process-for-all-year-2-safe-network
Over the first 3 years of the SAFE Initiative, 98% of SAFE clients continued to appear for their scheduled court hearings—a far-cry from what was claimed by Trump.
