Immigrants seeking legalization were informed in January by U.S. courts that their hearings were cancelled and would not be resolved until 2019 or later. Apparently, that’s not the case.
A federal office that schedules immigration-court dates issued the same hearing date for thousands of immigrants: Nov. 29, 2019.

The date was created last year following the great increase of adults with children and unaccompanied minors who crossed the border.
