KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Posted February 7, 2025

If immigration authorities approach or contact you, staying calm and being aware of your rights is essential. Here’s what you should do:

Quick Summary of Key Rights:

  • Remain silent – You do not have to answer questions about your immigration status.
  • Ask if you’re free to leave – If the officers say yes, you can leave.
  • Refuse a search – Unless they have a warrant or a legal reason, you can refuse to allow them to search you or your belongings.
  • Right to an attorney – You can speak with an attorney before answering any questions.
  • Do not sign anything without understanding it fully.
  • Call for help – Contact your union representative or legal counsel immediately.

Stay informed and take appropriate action to protect your rights in these situations.
