New Immigration Judges at the Seattle, Tacoma and Portland Immigration Courts (October 2025 to September 2026)
EOIR has named nine judges to the Seattle, Tacoma and Portland immigration courts since October 2025. Who they are, when they started, and what to check.
Check your hearing date at the Tacoma Immigration Court
EOIR’s free Automated Case Information portal shows the date, time and court of your next hearing: enter your A-number (the 8 or 9 digits after the “A” on your Notice to Appear or hearing notice; put a 0 in front of an 8-digit number) and choose your nationality. The same information is on EOIR’s line, 1-800-898-7180, 24 hours a day, in English and Spanish.
- What the result means: a master hearing is a short calendar hearing; an individual hearing is the merits hearing. “No case found for this A-Number” can mean the Notice to Appear has not been filed with the court yet. Your written hearing notice is the official source — if the two differ, call the Tacoma Immigration Court at (253) 779-6020.
- Moved? File Form EOIR-33/IC with the court that has your case within five days (8 C.F.R. § 1003.15(d)(2)). A USCIS change of address does not update the court.
- Missed a hearing? An order of removal entered in your absence can sometimes be reopened — see our guide to in absentia orders.

About the Tacoma Immigration Court
Public sources.
The court is in Suite 3 at 1623 East J Street, in Tacoma's industrial Tideflats area near the Port of Tacoma — a detained location with no conventional cross-street grid.
The Tideflats setting is car-oriented with limited public transit; access is organized around scheduled detained hearings.
This is a detained court located at the Northwest ICE Processing Center, a privately operated ICE facility (capacity roughly 1,575); the court occupies Suite 3, with the detention center alongside.
Tacoma sits south of Seattle in Washington. This detained court hears the docket for people held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center, within the Ninth Circuit.
