IMMIGRANT RIGHTS
Every person in the United States has rights. If you are an immigrant, you have rights.
- You do not have to open your door for ICE if they do not have a “warrant.” A warrant is a court order, signed by a judge.
- You do not have to talk to an immigration officer (ICE) or answer their questions – you can tell them that you want to stay silent.
- You can ask to talk to a lawyer.
- You can ask if you are free to leave—if the officer says yes, calmly and slowly leave.
- You can refuse to sign anything before talking to a lawyer.
