The Executive Office for Immigration Review shutdown in-person hearings during the height of the pandemic. Some courts reopened for detained immigrants in the middle of the summer, but hearings in non-detained cases at courts without an announced date are postponed through, and including, August 7, 2020. ICE, however, has not stopped detaining more immigrants during the pandemic. So as numbers in detention centers grew, these new detainees couldn't challenge the courts.
