Know Your Rights

All people in this country — documented and undocumented — have rights. 

Know Your Rights

  • You have the right to remain silent.
  • You have the right to an attorney.
  • You have the right to due process and to have your case heard before a judge.

What to do during an ICE run-in

  • Remain calm and do not run away.
  • Do not open the door for ICE or any police officer without a signed warrant.
  • Remain silent until you can speak with a lawyer — you don’t need to share your birthplace, immigration status, or how you entered the US.
  • Do not sign any paperwork you do not understand or agree with. You can speak with a lawyer before signing any documents.
