Call to Action

The U.S. Constitution guarantees certain basic rights to everyone living in this country, even undocumented immigrants, no matter who is president.

If you are an immigrant, you should know your rights if you have an encounter with law enforcement or an immigration agent (ICE):

You have the right to stay silent
Do not sign any documents without consulting an attorney
Do not let them enter your home
You have the right to ask “am I free to go?”
If they arrest you, ask to speak with an attorney.
Do not give the law enforcement officer any information voluntarily
Do not share your immigration status or your place of birth
Do not show or use any fraudulent documents or documents with a false name on them
Ask to see a warrant before opening the door if an immigration officer comes to your home or work.

If an immigration officer or ICE comes to your home:

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. If ICE does not have a warrant signed by a judge, they can not enter your home.

If an immigration agent wants to show you a warrant, they can show it through the window. They can also slide it under the door.
For the warrant to be valid, a judge must sign it. It must also have your correct name and address on it.
You do not need to open the door to speak with the agent. If you open the door, you would be allowing ICE agents to force their way into your home.
