**Right to request virtual removal proceedings.** This bill would give non-detained immigrants the right to ask that their immigration removal hearings be held by video or phone and requires judges to grant those requests while preventing prejudice from the remote format. - Non-detained immigrants: People not held in custody who request a virtual hearing would be entitled to appear by phone or video, which aims to improve access to their hearings and protect their ability to participate. - Detained immigrants: People in the custody of the Secretary are excluded from this right and cannot compel virtual proceedings.
