Colorado Immigration Courts
Colorado has two EOIR immigration courts, both in the Denver area. The Denver Immigration Court hears non-detained cases for the metro area. The Aurora court sits inside the Aurora ICE Processing Center, east of Denver, and hears the cases of people held there. Both are in the Tenth Circuit.

A detained person can ask for a bond hearing where the law allows it.
Which court is my case in?
Your Notice to Appear or latest hearing notice names it; look it up with your A-number in EOIR's case information system (opens in new tab). A judge may move a case to another court for good cause (8 C.F.R. § 1003.20 (opens in new tab)). Step by step: how to check your immigration court date.
Appeals: the 10th Circuit
After a final BIA order, a petition for review from Colorado courts goes to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit within 30 days (8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1)–(2) (opens in new tab)). The BIA follows 10th Circuit precedent in cases from Colorado (Matter of Anselmo, 20 I&N Dec. 25 (BIA 1989) (opens in new tab)).
