# National in absentia orders and recorded flags National summary and published national annual series for complete FY2021–FY2025. These are not the current HTML court/nationality filter results or a full grouped export. Query parameters are not supported. [HTML](https://asylumcompass.com/in-absentia) · [JSON](https://asylumcompass.com/in-absentia.json) · [Schema](https://asylumcompass.com/schemas/collection-response-v1.json) Each metric combines its definition, series population/unit/method, row period/sourceRef and named cell. Downloads of grouped cohorts are separate existing resources. A published zero remains available zero. Missing/unmatched/unknown, source-withheld, not-applicable and technical failure remain distinct; none becomes zero. A verified zero denominator is not_calculable/zero_denominator, without a numeric percentage. Blank/other flag values remain in N and are not confirmed attendance. ## Official national in absentia removal orders population=official_removal_deportation_exclusion_in_absentia_removal_orders; dateField={"state":"unknown","reason":"not_specified_in_official_report"} The EOIR report counts in absentia removal orders in removal, deportation and exclusion cases. Complete FY2021–FY2025 figures are transcribed from the report generated 2026-07-24. No order-rate denominator is inferred from a different official table. Official orders and CASE flagged records have different definitions, populations and units. Flagged is not an official order count; CASE N cannot supply an official order-rate denominator. Neither series is adjusted to match the other. Their difference is not evidence of error, underreporting, rescission or reopening counts. Change is current orders minus prior orders in this published five-year series, in absolute order counts, not percent or percentage points. FY2021 has no prior operand in the page series and stays not_applicable/first_published_year. The source PDF contains earlier years; they are outside this page series, not missing from the PDF.

N counts those proceedings; the numerator counts ABSENTIA = Y, and the share is 100 × flagged / N. Blank and other flag values remain in N, without being called confirmed attendance. The current complete edition includes every observed national, court, nationality and court-nationality group, including N = 1; N < 100 is marked as a small sample near the displayed share, not suppressed. The flag is not an official removal-order count, a unique-person count or evidence that an order remains in force. One accepted proceeding in RMV, DEP or EXC with nonblank DEC_CODE and a COMP_DATE in the complete fiscal year. Numerator is ABSENTIA=Y. All other flag values, including blanks, remain in N and are not called confirmed attendance. Court attribution uses the recorded proceeding court, not a reconstructed historical hearing venue. The code key describes ABSENTIA as failure to appear as scheduled. A retained flag is not necessarily a removal order or a current unrescinded order. Even adding removal/deportation/exclusion decision codes does not fully reconcile the official report; the raw and official series still differ. No reason for absence is inferred. The published aggregate counts normalized B_TblProceeding rows directly, without an ASYL application join or asylum-result filter. clean trims whitespace and maps empty, NUL and NULL strings to null; CASE_TYPE is uppercased, while cleaned ABSENTIA must equal Y exactly. COMP_DATE uses a successful date cast. IDNPROCEEDING is integer-cast and the existing normalization audit reports unique, nonnull IDs; no person/case deduplication is performed. BASE_CITY_CODE and NAT are stored snapshot associations, not reconstructed hearing locations. National rows are read directly, never rebuilt by adding overlapping court/nationality groups. Flag percent = 100*flagged/n, using the same national completion-FY row. Raw values and operands are retained; HTML uses two decimal places with half-expand rounding. Official orders and changes use integers. No confidence intervals or additional probabilities are added.
