Safe Check-Ins for Immigrants Act

The Safe Check-Ins for Immigrants Act (HR 8381) requires the Department of Homeland Security to permit certain non-citizens to complete their mandatory periodic check-ins virtually. This bill directly affects individuals who have been released from immigration detention and are awaiting a decision on their removal from the United States, provided they are required to report regularly to an immigration officer or case manager. It mandates that these required appearances can be satisfied through video teleconference, offering an alternative to in-person reporting.
