Immigrant rights in the United States – ACLU

All individuals in the United States, regardless of their immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the Constitution. Knowing these rights can help you act informed if you interact with immigration authorities or the police.

Some of the most important rights include:

• Right to remain silent.

• Right not to answer questions about your immigration status.

• Right to refuse consent to search your belongings without your permission.

• Right to request to speak with an attorney if you are detained.

• Right not to open your home door to immigration agents without a warrant signed by a judge.

  
  

Additionally, the ACLU provides specific guides on what to do if immigration agents come to your home, workplace, airport, or if you are detained during an immigration proceeding. They also offer downloadable informational materials in various languages to help you know and exercise your rights.
