Airport Know Your Rights Resources

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

We cannot always count on the police, Immigration & Customs Enforcement and Customs & Border Patrol respecting our rights, but we need to be informed and equipped with resources so that we have a plan should you or someone you love come into contact with these authorities.

United We Dream Recommendations and Resources:

  • Prepare Yourself with resources like the Preparedness Plan Packet that can reduce uncertainty and stress by keeping essential documents and key information in the case of an immigration emergency

  • Defend Yourself by trying to keep calm. Don’t open the door. Ask for a search and arrest warrant. Do not answer any questions. Record if you feel safe to do so. Remember ICE lies.

Red Card Know Your Rights, Immigrant Legal Resource Center

You have constitutional rights:

  • DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking on the door.

  • DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from an immigration agent if they try to talk to you.

  • You have the right to remain silent.

  • DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without first speaking to a lawyer. You have the right to speak with a lawyer.

  • If you are outside of your home, ask the agent if you are free to leave and if they say yes, leave calmly. I am running a few minutes late; my previous meeting is running over.

  • GIVE THE OFFICER THIS CARD. If you are inside your home, show the card in the window or pass it under the door.

DERECHOS DE LOS INMIGRANTES

No siempre podemos contar con que la policía, el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) y la Patrulla Fronteriza respeten nuestros derechos, pero necesitamos estar informados y usar estos recursos para tener un plan en caso de que usted o un ser querido entre en contacto con estas autoridades.

Recomendaciones y recursos de United We Dream:

  • Prepárese con recursos como el Paquete del Plan de Preparación, que puede reducir la incertidumbre y el estrés al conservar documentos esenciales e información clave en caso de una emergencia migratoria.

  • Defiéndase, intentando mantener la calma. No abra la puerta. Solicite una orden de registro y arresto. No responda a ninguna pregunta. Grabe si se siente seguro al hacerlo. Recuerde que ICE miente.

  • https://unitedwedream.org/resources/know-your-rights/

Usted tiene derechos constitucionales:

  • NO ABRA LA PUERTA si un agente de inmigración está tocando la puerta.

  • NO CONTESTE NINGUNA PREGUNTA de un agente de inmigración si trata de hablar con usted. Usted tiene el derecho a guardar silencio.

  • NO FIRME NADA sin antes hablar con un abogado. Usted tiene el derecho de hablar con un abogado.

  • Si usted está fuera de su casa, pregúntele al agente si tiene la libertad de irse y si le dice que sí, váyase con tranquilidad.

  • ENTRÉGUELE ESTA TARJETA EL AGENTE. Si usted está dentro de su casa, muestre la tarjeta por la ventana o pásela debajo de la puerta.

DWA IMMIGRAN YO

Nou pa ka toujou konte sou lapolis, Imigrasyon ak Ladwàn (ICE), oswa Pwoteksyon Fwontyè ak Ladwàn (CBP) pou yo respekte dwa nou. Se poutèt sa li enpòtan pou nou rete enfòme, konnen dwa nou, epi gen resous serye pare—pou nou gen yon plan si ou menm oswa yon moun ou renmen vin an kontak ak otorite sa yo.

Rekòmandasyon ak resous ki soti nan United We Dream:

  • Prepare tèt ou avèk resous tankou Pake Plan Preparasyon an (Preparedness Plan Pack), ki ka diminye ensètitid ak strès lè w kenbe dokiman esansyèl ak enfòmasyon kle an sekirite pou si’w ta gen yon ijans imigrasyon.

  • Kanpe fèm, epi eseye rete kalm. Pa louvri pòt la. Mande pou w wè yon manda rechèch ak arestasyon. Pa reponn okenn kesyon. Anrejistre entèraksyon an si w santi w an sekirite pou w fè sa. Sonje ICE bay manti.

  • https://unitedwedream.org/resources/know-your-rights/

Ou gen dwa konstitisyonèl:

  • PA LOUVRI PÒT LA si yon ajan imigrasyon ap frape.

  • PA REPONN OKENN KESYON yon ajan imigrasyon si li eseye pale avèk ou. Ou gen dwa rete an silans.

  • PA SIYEN ANYEN san w pa pale ak yon avoka anvan. Ou gen dwa pale ak yon avoka.

  • Si w deyò lakay ou, mande ofisye a si w lib pou w ale epi, si l di wi, ale tou dousman.

  • BA OFISYE A KAT SA A. Si w anndan lakay ou, montre kat la nan fenèt la oswa pase l anba pòt la.

REAL ID

Let’s be clear- laws like REAL ID aim to restrict and further police the freedom of movement between states. While we’re still not sure what enforcement of REAL ID will look like, we want our communities to have these resources in their back pocket should any barriers arise during travel.

  • What is REAL ID?

    • REAL ID is a federal law that sets specific requirements for state-issued driver’s licenses and prohibits federal agencies from accepting driver’s licenses that do not comply with those requirements. The federal government says it will start enforcing REAL ID beginning May 7, 2025.

  • What are other forms of identification accepted by TSA besides REAL ID?

  • Valid passports

  • Passport cards

  • Trusted traveler cards

  • Greencards

  • Border Crossing Cards

  • Veteran Health Identification Cards

  • Photo IDs from federally recognized Tribal Nations

  • How can I get a REAL ID?

    • Visit your state’s driver’s licensing agency website to find out exactly what documentation is required to get a REAL ID. At a minimum, you will have to provide documents showing:

  1. Your full legal name;

  2. Date of birth;

  3. Social security number;

  4. Two proofs of primary address and

  5. That you have citizenship or are a permanent resident (you can prove this with a U.S. passport, U.S. birth certificate, Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, or a Permanent Resident card).
