Know Your Rights Act

This bill would require the Attorney General to create an Office of Legal Access Programs within the Executive Office for Immigration Review. The office would run legal orientation programs that teach noncitizens in or released from custody about immigration procedures and their legal rights. The Attorney General would have to send Congress a plan within 180 days and offer these programs to all detained persons within one year. Programs and written notices of rights would be offered in English and the five most common languages of detained persons at each location, and the bill states it does not create any legally enforceable rights.
