USC law students have started a hotline for people to call when they have an immigration related court hearing, but don't want to show up in person for fear of being arrested / detained by ice outside the courthouse. The students will help people complete and submit a "motion to change hearing format" which can allow someone to have a remote / online hearing instead of a in-person hearing. Hotline is ( 888) 462-5211 they can help in English or Spanish
