Concord Immigration Court

There is free “visitor” parking at the courthouse at 1855 Gateway Blvd. But you may also choose to park in the shopping center lot on Willow Pass Road (near Brazilian Steakhouse and Gratitude Coffee). Cross Willow Pass Rd and walk towards the large building that houses the courts. On the Clayton Rd side, you will see a few folks wearing stoles, holding signs, and singing on the “island” on Clayton Road between the parking garage and the building containing the immigration courts.
