Methodology and sources
These are proceeding outcomes, not asylum application statistics. Completion years use EOIR COMP_DATE; 2026 contains partial-year data. Relief granted, denied / removal ordered and other / procedural exhaust the recorded outcomes. Groups of one are included. Historical outcomes do not establish a current assignment. Counts describe recorded cases and do not predict an individual's result.

Precomputed from exact TRAC aggregate counts; asylum granted + other relief granted = any relief granted, and outcomes sum to N. FY2026 is year-to-date through the published source cutoff. No values are interpolated. TRAC aggregate source · retrieved 2026-08-30. Methodology.
These figures cover completed asylum decisions in TRAC's published data, not all immigration-court matters. Outcomes may reflect case mix, representation, nationality, detention status, policy, and other factors; they are not a judge quality score. Read the methodology.
Visitor information
Hearing instructions
EOIR lists Internet-based hearing links and telephonic access codes in its current hearing directory. The hearing notice and current EOIR instructions control whether a particular hearing is remote or in person. Unrepresented respondents generally appear in person unless EOIR directs otherwise.
Building access and security
There are both magnatometers and x-ray machines that visitors and employees must go through for entrance into the Federal Building at the north entrance.
Security information: All visitors to the immigration court must undergo a security screening through a metal detector machine as well as a handbag screening each time they visit the immigration court. Shoes may be required to be removed. Food and drinks are not allowed, except as specifically permitted by the immigration judge. Usage of cameras or recording devices in courtrooms or other EOIR space is prohibited. Note, however, that attorneys or accredited representatives of record and DHS attorneys representing the government in proceedings before EOIR are permitted to use electronic devices in EOIR courtrooms for the limited purpose of conducting immediately relevant court and business-related activities (e.g. scheduling).
Parking and public transit
The El Paso Court is accessible from the El Paso
Metro bus line and is within walking distance to a bus stop. There is a pay parking lot on the east side of the Federal Building and some metered parking spots around the building and nearby streets.
