Virtual Deportation Hearings: Right to Video or Phone Conference for Migrants.
This law allows non-detained individuals facing deportation proceedings to request that their hearing be conducted remotely via video or telephone conference. The immigration judge must grant this request and ensure the remote format does not negatively affect the individual's legal rights. This change aims to increase flexibility and access to justice for migrants.
Key points
