What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Migrant Due Process Protection Act," proposes amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act. It aims to allow an alien to request that their removal proceedings occur via video conference or telephone conference. An immigration judge would be required to grant these requests, provided the person is not in the custody of the Secretary. The bill also mandates that the judge ensures no prejudice occurs to the alien during the proceeding.
