  • You should ASSERT YOUR RIGHTS. Carry a Know Your Rights card with you and hand it to the arresting agents. These cards are available in several languages to download and print here.
  • You have the right to REMAIN SILENT. Generally, you do not have to answer any questions, especially ones about your immigration status. Refusing to answer questions is not a crime, but you should never lie about your immigration status, as that carries serious penalties.
  • You have the right to SPEAK TO A LAWYER. Immigration laws are complex and confusing. You should never expect Immigration agents or even an Immigration Judge to explain all of your options or give you accurate information. You should speak with a lawyer before saying or doing anything.
  • DO NOT SIGN any documents without speaking to a lawyer first. This includes a Waiver, Stipulated Removal Order, or Voluntary Departure Agreement. You may be waiving your right to see a lawyer or judge or agreeing to leave the U.S. It may also mean you will not be allowed to enter the U.S. again or get immigration status. Never sign a document without reading, understanding, and knowing the consequences of signing it.
  • ASK to call a family member or friend if you have children with you when you are arrested or need to call in to work. It is important to have essential phone numbers memorized, in case of emergencies.
  • WRITE DOWN the name and telephone number of the deportation officer assigned to your case, as well as your Alien Registration Number, or A-number.
