Know Your Rights | Conozca Sus Derechos

Whether you are at work, home or in your community, the labor movement wants you to know your rights and be prepared when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents. Post this information on the back of your door so your family will have ready access.

NOTE: This information is not meant to serve as legal advice. 

Independientemente de donde se encuentre, ya sea en el trabajo, en el hogar o en su comunidad, el movimiento laboral quiere que conozca sus derechos y esté preparado para cualquier encuentro con las autoridades, incluyendo la policía y los agentes de inmigracion.

If law enforcement agents come to your home, you have the right to deny them entry unless they have a proper warrant signed by a judge.

If law enforcement agents come to your home, you have the right to deny them entry unless they have a proper WARRANT signed by a judge. You don’t need to open the door to see the warrant. You can slide a card under the door and, if they have a warrant, law enforcement agents can slide it under the door or hold it in the window to show it to you. Warrants issued by ICE don’t give immigration agents the right to enter your home unless you give them permission. 

NOTE: Judicial warrants are signed by judges and have the name of the court on them. ICE rarely has a judicial warrant. They might show you an immigration warrant instead—these usually say Department of Homeland Security on them and are usually signed by immigration officers.
