Tablet Legal Orientation Program Initiative
Pursuant to Executive Order Protecting The American People Against Invasion – The White House, the Department of Justice Executive Office of Immigration Review (DOJ EOIR), has informed ICE that they are pausing all Legal Orientation Program Services. Accordingly ICE has removed the LOP request form at 31 ICE detention facilities that have an LOP request form.
ICE, in collaboration with the Department of Justice Executive Office of Immigration Review, has developed a Legal Orientation Program Request Form that allows detained aliens to sign up for LOP services, message directly with LOP service providers, and be directed to LOP resources via the tablets. The LOP Request Form is available in 19 different languages in addition to English and is available at ICE detention facilities.
