You have the right to remain silent. You may refuse to speak to immigration officers. Don’t answer any questions. You may also say that you want to remain silent.
If an ICE agent comes to your door, do not open it. To be allowed to enter your home, ICE must have a warrant signed by a judge. Do not open your door unless an ICE agent shows you a warrant.
You have the right to speak to a lawyer. You can simply say, “I need to speak to my attorney.”
Before you sign anything, talk to a lawyer. ICE may try to get you to sign away your right to see a lawyer or a judge. Be sure you understand what a document actually says before signing it.
Always carry with you any valid immigration document you have. If you have a valid work permit or green card, be sure to have it with you. Do not carry papers from another country with you, such as a foreign passport.
