On October 15, 2021, EOIR announced that starting in November, Judges Rosche, Luskin, and Naseem will be holding hearings exclusively via WebEx. NIJC opposes the use of tele-video merits hearings for asylum seekers and strongly recommends that attorneys with upcoming merits hearings before these judges plan to file a motion to appear in-person no less than 30 days prior to their hearing. Please speak with your NIJC point-of-contact as soon as possible if you have an upcoming merits hearings before one of these judges.
