On September 10, 2014 the United States Executive Office for
Immigration Review (EOIR) announced that it will assign all immigration cases
originating at the Artesia, NM Detention Center to the Immigration Court in
Denver, Colorado.
As an update to this announcement, Immigration Judges
Trujillo and Livingston are now assigned to cases for the Artesia Detention
Center until further notice. The court
has been cancelling all hearings for these two judges, initially in six week
increments and increasing in three week increments as needed. If your case is before one of these judges
you will receive a cancellation notice in the mail, as will we if we are your
attorney of record. As of right now, the
court is not re-calendaring these cases, but has stated that it will as soon as
possible. Considering the number of
pending cases before the immigration court, and the fact that these cases are
being put off indefinitely, this will certainly have an immediate effect on
removal proceedings for individuals who are not currently detained. Hearings will most likely be scheduled into
2017 and beyond. If you are a current
client, we will contact you as soon as we receive a notice and discuss strategy
and options going forward.
Please contact Joseph Law Firm, P.C. with any immediate
questions or concerns.
