We invite faith leaders and allies to join us for a meeting to discuss the administration's chaotic new strategy called "Mega Master" Calendar Hearings, a trap designed to fast-track rapid deportation orders.

Instead of normal, small court dockets, the government will be jamming 100 to 150+ people into a single hearing block before one judge each day. They are pulling this off using intentional tactics:

• Targeting unrepresented (pro se) folks: The court (EOIR) is intentionally filtering calendars to isolate people who don't have lawyers yet, forcing them through these mass cattle-call hearings before they can find legal help.
• Surprise calendar changes (no notice): Hundreds of hearing dates are abruptly being moved or advanced on the online portal (ECAS). The scary part? The court is not sending out physical or electronic notices about these changes.
• Blaming respondents and lawyers: When attorneys confront the court about this complete lack of notice, EOIR’s official stance is pure gaslighting. They are telling lawyers straight up: It’s your job to log in and manually check the portal every single day to see if we changed your client's court date. We aren't responsible for telling you.

Because families have no idea their court dates were moved up, they are missing these surprise hearings. The moment they miss a "Mega Master," the judge issues an automatic deportation order.

This is a manufactured crisis. The government is creating a notification breakdown on purpose to generate thousands of final deportation orders with zero judicial review.

MORE FAITH LEADERS AND VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED FOR DOING ACCOMPANIENT IN THE COURTS AND OUR CLINIC GIVEN THE CHANGES FACING OUR IMMIGRANT FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.
