How do I find the court at 146 CCA Road?
Stewart and Lumpkin are the same court: Lumpkin is the town, and EOIR's web address uses that name. It sits at the Stewart Detention Center, and EOIR's page, updated October 8, 2026, and checked October 31, 2026, says the court entrance is to the left of the facility's main entrance. If your GPS fails, ICE's facility page says 79 Holder Road in Lumpkin can serve as an alternative address. EOIR says parking on site costs nothing, and ICE adds that visitor spaces are marked. EOIR lists no public transit, so arrange your ride ahead of time.
Can family attend a hearing here?
Call the facility before you drive. EOIR's page says hearings are generally open and you need not notify the court, but the Policy Manual, Ch. 3.13, warns that detention-facility hearings may require advance clearance to enter, that phones and other electronics are barred at some sites, and that you should contact the facility with questions. ICE's visiting rules for Stewart ask adults for valid government ID, with purses, phones and money left in the car, and bar electronic devices from secure areas; ICE does not say they govern court visitors. The number ICE lists is 229-838-5000. Facility security adds no leeway on time for a master calendar hearing.
How do I find out if someone is held at Stewart?
ICE's page, updated August 6, 2026, says to call 229-838-5000 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. with the person's full name, including hyphenated names, aliases, date of birth and country of birth. Detainees cannot take incoming calls. For an urgent message, call the same number with their full name, alien registration number and your contact details. Family and friend visits are non-contact, one a week for up to one hour; no one is processed after 2:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday or 6:30 p.m. Friday to Sunday. Those times are visiting rules and do not apply to the court.
How do I check the hearing date and reach the court?
Use the person's alien registration number at acis.eoir.justice.gov or on 1-800-898-7180, as our guide to finding a hearing explains. ICE's page lists only that automated line as the court's phone, but EOIR gives a direct number, 229-838-1324, and Stewart.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov. Window filing is 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. EOIR's directory lists Joy Lampley-Fortson as Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, Betty A. Jones as Court Administrator, six immigration judges including Ashley Lassiter, Latosha Powell and Michael Scharf, and temporary judge Chad Bayse. Its Webex directory has entries by judge, but ask the court how a given hearing will run.
Which other offices and facilities connect to Stewart?
EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, names Stewart as a court that may have jurisdiction for people held at the Stewart Detention Center and the Irwin County Detention Center; the hearing notice and EOIR's case system show the actual court. The facility answers to ICE's Atlanta Field Office at 180 Ted Turner Drive, which shares its street address with one of the Atlanta immigration courts. ICE takes case questions at Atlanta.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov. Bond law is not specific to this building, so see the bond hearing guide, and for help with a removal case, act before the next date.
