Hearings at the main immigration courthouse in San Francisco ended on May 1, months earlier than initially expected, affecting more than 100,000 pending cases. Most are being shifted to the Concord Immigration Court, while thousands of others will continue at a smaller San Francisco location on Sansome Street.
The Justice Department has accelerated plans to wind down operations at the San Francisco Immigration Court’s Montgomery Street location, ending hearings there at the close of business on May 1, 2026, according to a notice from the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). (justice.gov)
