At 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, immigration officials quietly began moving hearings for some immigrants from regular courtrooms to a third-floor office run by ICE and DHS, with respondents given last-minute yellow sticky notes redirecting them. Advocates say the move sowed confusion, separated immigrants from family and legal supporters, and led to many missing their hearings, increasing their risk of deportation. The court largely appears to target immigrants without attorneys, and neither EOIR nor DHS have explained the change publicly.
