What you need to know about the rights of immigrants and the threat of deportation.
Looking for immigration legal help, guidance on your rights, or preparing for the end of status? Here are some resources to get started.
Know Your Rights: Preparing For ICE Raids And Other Immigration Enforcement Actions explains the rights, legal options, and safety plans for immigrants.
AILA provides Know Your Rights handouts for several scenarios: ICE worksite raids (for employers), ICE home visits, and ICE public stops.
In response to the ongoing threat of ICE’s mass raid and deportation operations, IDP has compiled all of our Know Your Rights resources in one easily accessible place.
Everyone in the U.S. has certain rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution, regardless of your immigration status. You can’t always control whether you will come in contact with immigration or law enforcement. It is important to know and practice these scenarios so that you and your friends, family, and colleagues are prepared for any situation. Understanding what your fundamental rights are and how to use them will help you advocate for yourself and respond appropriately if you encounter the police or immigration enforcement.

Notifica gives immigrants a help button that alerts key contacts if an encounter with law enforcement is about to take place. Alerts are designed to inform family members, legal advocates, and other contacts that the sender may have been detained by deportation agents.

This is achieved through immigrant youth-led campaigns at the local, state, and federal level.
