Know Your Rights
All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) created the Red Card to help people assert their rights and defend themselves in the many situations, such as when ICE agents go to a home. When interrogated by federal immigration officials, you have the right to stay silent. Hand the Red Card to the officer and remember that you do no have to answer any questions. |
