If you are arrested:

• You have the right to remain silent – ICE can use anything you say against you in your immigration case
• You have the right to speak with a lawyer
• You have the right to call the consulate of your birth country – the consulate may assist you in finding a lawyer

If you are mistreated:

• You have the right to file a complaint

Keep in mind:

• Do not carry false identification
• Do not carry papers from another country, such as a foreign passport or consular ID
