Miami Immigration Court
The Miami Immigration Court is part of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) within the U.S. Department of Justice. It handles removal (deportation) proceedings, defensive asylum, cancellation of removal, and bond hearings for people in Florida.
This is general information, not legal advice. Immigration court is complex and the stakes are high — consult a licensed immigration attorney about your case.

Important: If you don’t have a representative of record, your default hearing medium is in-person regardless of any link above. Photographing or recording any part of an internet-based hearing is strictly prohibited.
If you miss your hearing
Missing an immigration court hearing is serious. The judge can order you removed in absentia under INA § 240(b)(5)(A) — a deportation order issued without you present. If this happens you may file a Motion to Reopen, but the deadlines are strict. Always keep your address current with the court using Form EOIR-33/IC so you actually receive your notices.
You are not given a free attorney
Immigration court is not like criminal court — the government does not appoint you a free lawyer. You may hire one or seek free/low-cost help:
- Free & low-cost immigration legal aid in Florida
- How to find a real immigration attorney — never use a notario; that is fraud.
Free legal service providers EOIR lists for this court
The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) publishes a List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers. The edition we read on October 20, 2026 is marked Updated October 2026 and lists the providers below under the heading Miami Immigration Court (Miami, Florida). EOIR’s list page says the List contains non-profit organizations and attorneys who have committed to providing at least 50 hours per year of pro bono legal services before the immigration court location where they appear on the List, plus pro bono referral services; EOIR publishes it quarterly (January, April, July, and October).
EOIR’s markers: * Non-Profit Organization, ** Referral Service, *** Private Attorney. This court’s section of the October 2026 edition has no *** entries. The same edition has a separate Miami Immigration Court Juvenile Docket section (2 providers), shown after the main list. Names, addresses, phone numbers and emails are copied exactly as EOIR prints them.
