Which building in Florence is the immigration court?
EOIR lists 3260 N. Pinal Parkway Avenue and says the court sits in a Department of Homeland Security controlled detention facility. It gives no floor or suite number. ICE lists the Florence Service Processing Center next to that number, at 3250 N. Pinal Parkway, and EOIR sends visitors to that center's page for entry. Do not confuse it with the Central Arizona Florence Correctional Center, which ICE lists at 1100 Bowling Road. Both EOIR and ICE say parking is in front of the facility, facing Highway 79. EOIR states that no public transit is available, so arrange a car or a ride in advance. Page read October 31, 2026; EOIR dated it October 8, 2026.
What should I expect at the door of a detention facility?
Two sets of rules apply here. EOIR requires a metal detector and handbag screening on every visit. ICE's page for the center, updated August 6, 2026, says adults need a valid, verifiable government-issued ID, that visitors face a pat-down and belongings inspection, and that phones are barred from secure areas. Children under 18 must stay with an adult. ICE also advises arriving 30 minutes ahead, but those rules are written for visits to detained people, and the page does not describe court entry. Before you drive out, ask the court at 520-868-3341 how hearing visitors are admitted.
How do I file papers at the Florence court?
The window is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., half an hour before public hours end at 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal holidays. With no public transit here, mail or a courier to 3260 N. Pinal Parkway Avenue may be easier, and EOIR's Policy Manual allows both. A filing counts only when the court receives it; reaching the Postal Service, a courier or a detention facility is not enough. Filings can also be made in open court. Attorneys and accredited representatives of record must e-file through ECAS. EOIR's FAQ on its Respondent Access Portal does not address detained people. Unrequested faxes and emailed documents are discarded with no notice to the sender. Asylum.Clock.Florence@usdoj.gov takes only asylum work-permit clock requests.
How do I confirm a hearing date, and who are the judges listed?
Your notice is the official record. To check it, use EOIR's Automated Case Information System or 800-898-7180, as our guide on confirming a hearing shows; ICE's page gives the same number. Then call the court. Having an address inside this facility does not tell you which court has a person's case, because Arizona has others, such as Eloy. When read on October 31, 2026, EOIR's directory listed five judges under Florence: Robert Daly, Natalie Huddleston, Victoria Levin, Michael Rapiejko and Bruce Taylor, and the court page lists Irene C. Feldman as Assistant Chief Immigration Judge and Rachel Toliusis as court administrator. That list shows who is at the court, not who has a case. Questions go to Florence.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov.
How do I reach someone held at Florence, and can family attend?
For someone held at the Florence Service Processing Center, ICE's line is 520-868-5862, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; have the person's names, aliases, date of birth and country of birth ready. Urgent messages go through 520-868-8388. Family may attend, since hearings are open with limited exceptions and need no advance notice, but here that means passing a detention facility's checks. EOIR asks observers to come in person, and a Webex link in its directory does not make a hearing online. Closures are posted on EOIR's Operational Status page, which showed this court as open when read. Bond is a separate subject; see our bond hearing guide.
