Confusion, explosive anger and waiting: NPR spent a day in New York immigration court

Summary
In New York’s immigration courts, particularly at 26 Federal Plaza and 290 Broadway, federal immigration enforcement has intensified under the Trump administration, creating chaos and fear. ICE agents now regularly detain immigrants in court hallways and entrances, even when judges grant continuances, leading advocates and lawyers to warn that due process and the integrity of the court system are being undermined.

Critics, including immigrant rights groups and New York City officials, argue that courthouse arrests discourage people from attending mandatory hearings and erode trust in law enforcement. The courts are also overwhelmed by a massive 3.7 million-case backlog, with many hearings delayed until 2029.

Inside the courthouses, experiences diverge: some celebrate naturalization ceremonies, while others anxiously face deportation proceedings. Conflicting security protocols between EOIR and DHS have caused further confusion, sometimes barring journalists and observers from public hearings. Tensions have escalated into confrontations, with federal officers clashing with immigrant advocates in court hallways.

Overall, the heightened enforcement is pushing immigrants into an impossible choice between risking detention or continuing their legal cases, raising broader concerns about constitutional rights and the future of the U.S. immigration system.
