Transparency will decrease as the Executive Office for Immigration Review makes it more difficult to determine hearing dates. The new system requires us to determine dates of issuance of charging document in order to use the oft relied on EOIR 800#. For any attorney who has practiced regularly in the Immigration Courts, especially like me who have handled a large number of detained cases, determining the date of issuance of the charging document will be quite a challenge. This new system relies and believes ICE properly serves and issued such documents to its recipients and respondents’ attorneys. I have to admit, I sighed disappointingly when I read about this change. I guess things must get worse before they get better.
EOIR Immigration Court messes with 800# in the name of security and improvement
