I just tried a simple news article rewrite with a basic OpenAI prompt. The prompt is very basic and can definitely be improved. But here's what I got:

How does it compare to Quillbot?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has recently introduced a set of procedures aimed at improving the investigation process in cases of labor enforcement.
These enhancements are intended to aid enforcement efforts by streamlining procedures and ensuring that all parties involved in such investigations are treated fairly and equitably. With the help of these updated measures, the DHS is committed to bringing about significant improvements in the way labor law violations are handled and ensuring that justice is served.

Enhancements Bolster Endeavors to Ensure Dishonest Employers are Answerable
As of recent, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has taken a new measure to ensure that noncitizen laborers who fall victim to, or witness, violations of labor rights are safeguarded from exploitation by their employers. This will be done through a unique deferred action request process that is both efficient and streamlined. Noncitizen laborers who fear retaliation as a consequence of speaking out against their employers can now breathe easy knowing that they will be protected under this mandate. The DHS will also be taking a more tailored approach to review requests made to them by labor and employment agencies with regards to deferred action on a case-by-case basis. These changes will be applicable effective immediately and workers can obtain further information on this matter in both English and Spanish by visiting the DHS website. The Biden-Harris administration has made it abundantly clear that they intend to empower workers and improve working conditions for everyone, this step being proof of their commitment to ensuring that everyone, including noncitizens, are able to assert their legal rights without fear of retribution.
According to Alejandro N. Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, businesses that take advantage of noncitizen employees who are in a vulnerable position are not only harming those workers but also disadvantaging those businesses that follow ethical and lawful measures. To tackle this issue, it is important for all employees to stand up for their rights, report any wrongdoing they have witnessed or experienced, and cooperate with labor standard investigations. By working closely with our labor agency partners, we can successfully safeguard the American labor market, the working conditions that employees are entitled to, and the dignity of those individuals who contribute significantly to the economy. Let us all pledge our support towards this vital cause.
In the realm of labor and employment standards investigations, workers often hold back from reporting violations of the law committed by exploitative employers for reasons that are both understandable and unfortunate. Due to a fear of retaliatory action, including removal or other immigration-based consequences, these workers shy away from cooperation with enforcement agencies, which in turn hampers any ensuing investigations. This unwillingness to speak up leads to unfair labour conditions and only bolsters the prolongation of unlawful practices such as refusing to pay adequate wages or safety concerns. Furthermore, it makes it difficult for workers to band together to advocate for better working conditions.
Fortunately, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) lends a helping hand by offering noncitizen victims protective measures against their abusive employers on a case-by-case basis. This move fosters more in-depth worksite investigations and empowers labor and employment agencies to hold abusive employers accountable. As a result, DHS's actions not only fulfill its commitment to U.S workers under the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment but also aids in improving work environments for everyone involved.
Apart from offering fresh instructions to labor agencies on the protocols to apply for deferred action for certain workers, the DHS is also proposing an all-in-one submission facility for deferred action appeals made by non-citizen employees, approved and backed by labor agencies. The amalgamated intake mechanism will empower DHS in assessing these time-sensitive requests fluently, provide extra security measures to eligible workers individually, and adequately assist the labor agencies' objective. These progressive advancements align with Secretary Mayorkas’ directive memorandum released in October 2021, mandating all DHS organizations and bureaus to ensure that DHS plays a crucial part in supporting the vital functions of labor agencies in implementing wage protections, workplace safety protocols, labor rights, and other related laws and standards.
For quite some time now, the Department of Homeland Security has been accepting solicitations for postponing action submitted by non-native workers who belong to the purview of an investigation and/or exertion activity led by a labor agency. It has now extended the ability for noncitizens to submit such appeals to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) through an exclusive central intake point designed solely to aid labor agency investigative and enforcement endeavors. In matters where noncitizens are in removal proceedings or have a final command of removal, USCIS after checking the application's thoroughness, will forward such requests to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which will make a concluding conclusion based on each case. With respect to all other postponed action requests, USCIS shall evaluate them on a case-by-case basis. Inclusive of those that relate to postponed action requests made by ICE's determination, USCIS shall examine all relevant applications and authorizations concerning employment. As the enforcements by labor agencies are often time-sensitive, expediting the processing of deferred actions and related applications for employment authorization can reduce potential hazards for workers and shield them against retribution from their employers under investigation.
Apart from individual prerequisites necessary to streamline decision-making on a case-by-case basis, requests for delayed action made through this consolidated protocol must be accompanied by a document (known as a Statement of Interest) issued by a federal, state, or regional labor entity. This document asks DHS to weigh up the merit of exercising its discretion in favor of workforces employed by entities highlighted by the agency for being embroiled in labor discrepancies related to applicable laws registered under its purview. Along with other parameters, as explained in DHS's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), the letter authored by the concerned labor department should furnish the following details:
The realm of authority or territorial fascination of the labor agency in terms of enforcing labor laws and regulations, and how it coincides with the purpose and objectives of the said agency.

The labor agency's interest is supported by the DHS's contemplation of prosecutorial discretion in regards to these workers' situations. This can help ensure that justice is given fairly and appropriately. Additionally, it showcases the DHS's willingness to consider the unique circumstances and needs of individual workers, thereby demonstrating a commitment to compassion and fairness in their employment policies. By thoughtfully examining each case with care and attention, they are working towards creating a system that is more just and equitable for all.
In accordance with customary procedures, grants of deferred action under this process are usually granted for a timeframe of two years and are always subject to potential cancellation. Individuals who are awarded deferred action may qualify for work authorization under pre-existing rules, which mandate that they must showcase an economic need for employment. Additionally, they might also be eligible for later grants of deferred action if a labor agency has ongoing investigative or enforcement activities related to the issue delineated in their primary communication that bolstered the DHS's utilization of prosecutorial discretion.
