Offered a job, then they took it away

I was offered a job. The job offered was in contingency to my background check. I was supposed to start this week. My background check didn’t come back before my start date. I continued to wait.

I was calmly going to ask what was going on.

To you all out there:
-What are my rights?
-What can I do?
-What’s going on?
-Who can I file with, to file grievance against them?
-Etc.

I initially thought this was going to be a dream job, and now it’s turned into this mess.

P.S. There shouldn’t be anything incriminating on my background report other than traffic complaints.

Please, help.
