Immigration: Know Your Rights

  • You have the right to remain silent. Don’t answer any questions. You can say, “I wish to remain silent.”
  • Do not open your door. To enter your home, ICE must have a warrant signed by a judge. You can say, “I do not give you permission to enter my home.”
  • You have the right to speak to a lawyer. You can say, “I need to speak to my lawyer.”
  • Do not sign anything without first speaking to a lawyer.

ACILEP Hotline

Use SALUTE when calling the hotline:

  • Size/Strength — How many officers? How many vehicles?
  • Actions/Activity — What are they doing?
  • Location — Where are they?
  • Uniform — What are they wearing?
  • Time/Date
  • Equipment — Do they have batons, guns, vests?
