Which building is it, and when does the court close?
EOIR's address line says only 1220 SW 3rd Avenue, Suite 500, Portland, OR 97204, but its security section names the Edith Green / Wendell Wyatt Federal Building, which helps when you ask for directions. The page was updated October 8, 2026, and read October 31, 2026. Public hours and the window are the same here, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday except federal holidays, so anything to file must be at the window by 4 p.m. Closures appear on EOIR's Operational Status page, Facebook and X. Call 503-326-6341 or write to Portland.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov with questions before a master calendar hearing.
What ID do I need, and why are there two security checks?
The court sits inside a federal building, so EOIR describes two stages. To get in, you must provide U.S. government or state identification, or a PIV agency card. EOIR lists no other document, so if you hold only a foreign passport or consular ID, call 503-326-6341 before the day. In the building lobby, all items go through an x-ray machine and visitors pass a metal detector, with manual inspection or more screening if needed. At the court there is a second metal detector and a handbag check. Silence phones in the court lobby and turn them off before the courtroom; officers may inspect devices. Bring nothing that could serve as a weapon.
Where do I park, and what about transit?
EOIR says street parking downtown is limited and run by the City of Portland through meters that take coins and credit cards. It adds that several garages stand within a few blocks of the court, without naming them or giving rates. For public transit it points to TriMet at trimet.org and names no line or stop, so check your route there before the day. EOIR gives no walking directions from any garage. Allow time for parking, a walk and both security stages.
Where is ICE in Portland?
ICE is not in this building according to its list. Its Portland location is 4310 S Macadam Avenue, Suite 300, Portland, OR 97239, phone (503) 326-4165, with appointments Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eugene, at 211 East 7th Avenue, Suite 120, sees people the last Tuesday of each month, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Medford, at 3715 International Way, sees people Wednesdays, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. ICE's page shows a last update of March 4, 2025, so confirm on your paper. EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, says a court “may have jurisdiction” over charging documents from listed sites, and places the Anchorage and Portland DHS district offices, Boise, Helena and three Oregon correctional sites under this court. That does not settle one case.
How do I confirm my date or join by Webex?
Start with your latest notice, then check acis.eoir.justice.gov or 800-898-7180, as explained in our guide to finding your hearing. ACIS does not show every case, so if the two differ or ACIS is empty, call 503-326-6341. The page lists Theresa M. Scala as Assistant Chief Immigration Judge and 4 immigration judges: David Evans, Matthew Andrasko, Joseph Lucas and Michelle Slayton. That is a staff list, not a case assignment. EOIR's directory, updated October 29, 2026, has Webex links by judge, but a respondent with no representative of record defaults to in-person. Other Northwest locations include Seattle and Tacoma, so do not assume a nearby court is yours.
