Notes: This data is compiled using the case identifiers J (juvenile), UJ (unaccompanied juvenile), and J1 (aged out) to develop the number of juvenile defensive asylum receipts for 2005-2007. The case identifiers are manually entered and are not automatically derived from a date of birth field in the EOIR system because EOIR is not provided with date of birth data.
