Rights Everyone—documented and undocumented—has rights in the U.S. • Students should not open the door to their residence unless the agents requesting access have a warrant signed by a judge. • Students do not need to sign any documents they do not understand. • Students have the right to remain silent. • Students may document and report the incident by calling the Family Support Hotline at 855-HELP-MY-FAMILY (855.435.7693). • Students should keep a know-your-rights card with them at all times. iAmerica and Immigrant Legal Resource Center have cards available in a variety of languages.
Cards are available at the end of this pamphlet and online at: Know Your Rights | iAmerica Know Your Rights Red Cards
