Knowledge is power. Understand your legal rights and how to protect yourself and your family.
You have the right to remain silent. Do not provide information about your immigration status to police or ICE. Say: "I am exercising my right to remain silent."
Do not open your door to law enforcement unless they present a valid warrant signed by a judge. Ask to see the warrant through a window. A warrant must have your correct name and address.
If stopped in public, stay calm — ask if you are free to leave. If not, say you want to remain silent and ask for a lawyer. Do not run, argue, or resist.
Keep emergency contacts and a copy of important documents stored with a trusted person. Make a family safety plan and discuss it regularly.

Tienes el derecho de permanecer en silencio. No proporciones información sobre tu estado migratorio a la policía o ICE. Di: "Estoy ejerciendo mi derecho a permanecer en silencio."
No abras tu puerta a las autoridades a menos que presenten una orden válida firmada por un juez. Pide ver la orden a través de una ventana. Una orden debe tener tu nombre y dirección correctos.
Si te detienen en público, mantén la calma — pregunta si eres libre de irte. Si no, di que deseas permanecer en silencio y pide un abogado. No corras, discutas ni resistas.
Guarda contactos de emergencia y una copia de documentos importantes con una persona de confianza. Crea un plan de seguridad familiar y discútelo regularmente.
