This section appears in one version only, so there is nothing to compare yet.
(a) Program The Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure that each facility used to detain aliens provides each alien detained in such facility with access to the Legal Orientation Program (or any successor program), whether or not such facility is owned by the Department. Such program shall be operated by a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization with demonstrated immigration law expertise. (b) Orientation The Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure that each alien described in subsection (a) receives the legal orientation required under such subsection, which may be provided in a group setting, as soon as practicable after entering the detention facility, which orientation may not be delayed until after the initial hearing before an immigration judge.
