Safe Check-Ins for Immigrants Act

This bill would change federal immigration law so that certain immigrants released while their deportation cases are pending could check in by video call. It applies to people released on bond or conditional parole who must regularly appear before an immigration officer, or before a case manager in an alternatives to detention program, as a condition of their release. The Secretary of Homeland Security would be required to allow these people to meet that check-in requirement by video teleconference instead of appearing in person.
