PRINT: Know your Rights Card and give it to the agent if detained.

Documents to carry with you. Show: Show proof of your living here for at least 2 years if you are arrested. This can protect you from quickly deporting you without seeing a judge. If you can’t prove you’ve lived in the U.S. for more than 2 years, they can deport you without giving you a chance to see a judge.

Stay calm. Do not run away or try to stop the agents.If they ask you questions, say “I am using my right to remain silent.”

Do NOT sign any documents without talking to a lawyer first or asking that it be read to you in your own language.

If you are afraid to return to your home country, say so loudly and clearly to every agent you see. If you do not say you are scared, they may deport you without giving you a chance to see a judge or ask for asylum.

Tell the agent if you are the parent or primary caregiver of a child (or adult with disabilities) who is a U.S. citizen or green card holder.

  • Tell them if you are pregnant.

  • Tell them if you have a disability, illness, or health condition.

  • If you had children with you when you were detained, or want to call into work, ask the agents if you can call a relative or friend.

  • Ask for the deportation agent’s name, phone number, and your A-number.

Be sure a trusted relative or friend has your A-number, if you have one. This is a 9-digit number beginning with an "A" found on most immigration documents. If you do not speak English, ask a family member to write a letter in English including all the relevant information mentioned above, so you can hand it to the officer if needed.
