Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, by rulemaking, establish detention standards for each facility at which aliens in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security are detained. Such standards shall provide, at a minimum, the level of protections for detainees described in the American Bar Association’s Civil Immigration Detention Standards (adopted in August 2012, and as amended in August 2014). On a biennial basis, the Secretary shall review and update such standards, as appropriate.
