Your Rights Outside of Your Home
In any interaction with law or immigration enforcement, the most important practices to remember are:
Stay calm
Stay silent (don’t mention where you were born or how you entered the US)
Record details and names
Do NOT run away
Ask to speak to your lawyer before signing any documents or answering any questions
Encountering immigration officers outside of your home can come with additional pressures and constraints. Make sure that you are familiar with your rights, and practice responding to requests so that if you are ever in a position where you are being questioned, you can remain calm and respond appropriately.
