YOUR BASIC RIGHTS

You have the right to speak to an attorney before answering any questions, consenting to a search,
or handing over or signing any documents (you should NEVER sign documents without first
speaking to an immigration attorney).

= The safest thing to do is to say you do not want to talk, ask to speak with your lawyer, and remain
silent.

= Itis acrime to lie to a federal official or other law enforcement officer, about anything. It is much
safer to say that you do not want to talk, and then remain silent until you contact a lawyer.

If you are accused of something that makes you deportable and you are placed in deportation
proceedings, you have the right to a hearing with an Immigration Judge and the right to have an
attorney represent you at that hearing and in any interview with an immigration agency.

= However, in most situations, there is no right to a government-paid lawyer, as there is in criminal
proceedings. Insist on a hearing with an Immigration Judge, especially if you are detained.

= Unless you have already gone through a whole proceeding and already have a final, unappealed,
deportation order, an immigration agent cannot just grab you and take you to deport you. You do
get a day in court. Don't sign anything that gives it up.

If you are being questioned by a police officer or an FBI or immigration agent about your immigration
status or about a suspected crime, tell the officer you wish to contact a lawyer.

If you are being questioned by the police, FBI, ICE or CBP about your immigration status or a suspected
crime, tell the officer you wish to contact a lawyer.
