Know Your Rights
Understand your constitutional rights during immigration enforcement encounters. Everyone in the United States has rights, regardless of immigration status.
Essential Rights
Right to Remain Silent
You do not have to answer questions about your immigration status, where you were born, or how you entered the country.
Right to Refuse Entry
ICE cannot enter your home without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. An ICE administrative warrant is not enough.
Right to an Attorney
If detained, you have the right to speak with a lawyer. Do not sign any documents without legal counsel.
