Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR)

The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) is a part of the U.S. Department of Justice that oversees immigration courts and agencies. Its main responsibility is to adjudicate immigration cases, which includes handling asylum requests, deportation proceedings, and appeals. EOIR ensures that immigration laws are applied fairly and that individuals have the opportunity to present their cases. It plays a crucial role in the U.S. immigration system, balancing enforcement of immigration laws with the rights of individuals seeking to stay in the country or gain legal status.
