Immigration Court

Immigration Court is a specialized legal tribunal that handles cases related to immigration issues, such as deportation and asylum claims. Unlike District Courts, which deal with a wide range of civil and criminal cases, Immigration Courts focus specifically on matters involving non-citizens. They operate under the Executive Office for Immigration Review, a part of the Department of Justice. In these courts, immigration judges evaluate evidence, hear testimonies, and make decisions on the legal status of individuals facing immigration-related challenges. The proceedings can be complex and are guided by immigration laws and regulations.
