KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

In the United States, every person—whether documented or undocumented—has the constitutional right to remain silent and to refuse to answer questions of the police, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), or the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), whether on the street, in a car, or at home. s Under the law, the ICE must have proof you are not from the United States to deport you. They can use the following information against you:

  • If you run and the ICE catches you.
  • If you tell the ICE where you were born or that you don’t have papers.
  • If you carry false documents.
  • If you carry papers from your country. If you are questioned by the ICE, you are NOT required to reveal any information, such as your name, address, or home country.

If you are questioned or detained, however, it usually is a good idea to give your name so that friends, family, or your attorney can locate you.

IF IMMIGRATION ARRESTS YOU— YOU HAVE THE RIGHT:

  1. To remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Anything you say may be used against you.
  2. To understand the charges against you. If you need an interpreter, the ICE must provide one.
  3. To be represented by an attorney (at your own expense) and to receive a list of agencies offering free legal services before answering questions.
  4. To refuse to sign documents, such as for voluntary Please note that this publication discusses general legal principles only.

    • You are afraid to return to your home country;
    • You have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years;
    • Your family members have amnesty or other papers;
    • You already have a pending ICE case; or
    • You are accused of using false documents.
  5. To make a telephone call to an attorney, family member, consulate of your home nation, friend, or the union (memorize their telephone numbers).
  6. To be released on bond and to have a hearing to reduce your bond if you cannot afford it.
  7. To have a hearing before an immigration judge and to appeal any adverse decision by the judge. You have the right to stay in the U.S. while you appeal.

IF IMMIGRATION COMES TO YOUR HOME:

  1. Ask the officers to show you the search or arrest warrant. If they do not have a warrant, you do not have to allow them to enter your home.
  2. If the officers enter without a warrant, ask for their names and badge numbers. If they refuse, write down the identification numbers on their badges.
  3. Get the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of witnesses.
  4. Get a receipt for any property taken by the ICE.
  5. A search warrant does not require you to answer questions.

CONOZCA SUS DERECHOS

En los Estados Unidos, toda persona—documentada o no documentada—tiene el derecho a callar y a rehusarse a contestar preguntas de la policía, la Agencia Federal de Investigaciones (FBI), o de la migra, ya sea en la calle, en un carro, o en su casa. Bajo la ley, la migra necesita tener pruebas de que usted no es de este país para deportarlo. Ellos pueden usar la siguiente información en su contra:

  • Si usted corre y la migra lo agarra.
  • Si usted le dice a la migra donde nació y que no tiene papeles.
  • Si usted usa documentos falsos.
  • Si usted usa documentos de su país.

Si es interrogado por la migra, usted NO está obligado a revelar ninguna información, como su nombre, dirección o el país de origen. Sin embargo, si es interrogado es buena idea dar su nombre para que su familia, amigos o abogado puedan localizarlo.

SI LA MIGRA LO ARRESTA— USTED TIENE EL DERECHO:

  1. A mantener silencio y a rehusarse a contestar preguntas. Cualquier cosa que diga puede ser usada en contra suya.
  2. A entender los cargos en su contra. Si necesita un intérprete, la migra tiene que proveerle uno.
  3. A ser representado por un abogado (pagado por usted) y a recibir una lista de agencias que ofrecen servicios legales gratis antes de contestar cualquier pregunta. Por favor note que esta publicación solo discute de forma general principios legales. Su intención no es servir como consejo legal con respecto a algun asunto en especifico.
  4. A rehusarse a firmar documentos, como partida voluntaria. Es muy importante que consulte con un abogado antes de firmar su salida voluntaria si:
    • Usted tiene miedo de volver a u país;
    • Usted ha vivido en los Estados Unidos por más de diez años;
    • Miembros de su familia tienen amnistía u otros papeles;
    • Usted ya tiene un caso pendiente con la migra; o
    • Usted está acusado de usar documentos falsos.
  5. A hablarle por teléfono a un abogado, familiar, consulado de su país, amigo o a la unión (memorize los números telefónicos).
  6. A ser puesto en libertad bajo fianza y a tener una audiencia para reducir su fianza si no puede pagarla.
  7. A tener una audiencia ante un juez de inmigración y a apelar cualquier decisión adversa del juez. Usted tiene el derecho a permanecer en este país mientras apela.

SI LA MIGRA VIENE A SU CASA:

  1. Pida que los oficiales le muestren la orden de registro o de arresto. Si no tienen una orden no tiene que permitirles acceso a su casa.
  2. Si los oficiales entran sin una orden, pídale sus nombres y número de identificación. Si se niegan anote los números de sus placas.
  3. Obtenga los nombres, direcciones y números de teléfono de testigos.
  4. Obtenga un recibo por cualquier propiedad removida por la migra.
  5. Una orden de registro no le obliga a contestar ninguna pregunta.
