Because of the pandemic the non-detained immigration court cases at 26 Federal Plaza and 290 Broadway in New York City have been closed since March 2020. This has caused a terrible backlog of removal cases in New York City. Beginning on July 6, 2021, the Immigration Courts in New York City at 26 Federal Plaza and 290 Broadway will finally resume hearing cases.
I am looking forward to doing Immigration Court cases again. I love doing Immigration Court cases. I am a litigator at heart. It has been hard for me to go so long without going to Immigration Court. I miss it. I enjoy doing all kinds of deportation defense cases. I especially enjoy doing asylum and criminal deportation defense. I have done virtually every type of waiver case (i.e., cancellation of removal, INA § 237(a)(1)(H), INA § 212(c), INA § 212(h), and INA § 212(i)).
