This legislation, known as the Safe Check-Ins for Immigrants Act, amends Section 236 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to introduce an option for virtual periodic appearances . It mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security permit eligible aliens to appear virtually by video teleconference to satisfy their required check-ins. This provision specifically applies to aliens who have been released from custody and are required to periodically appear before an immigration officer or a case manager as a condition of their release. The virtual appearance option is intended for those awaiting a final decision on whether they will be removed from the United States, aiming to streamline the check-in process.
