H.R. 6349 amends federal immigration law to give migrants the right to request that their removal proceedings be conducted remotely through video conference or telephone rather than in person. The bill applies to immigrants not in government custody who face deportation proceedings before an immigration judge. Under this legislation, immigration judges must grant such requests and ensure the remote format does not disadvantage the migrant's case. The bill does not specify funding requirements or implementation timelines, focusing instead on expanding procedural flexibility in immigration court proceedings.
