What to do if confronted by immigration officials? Know your rights!
1. You do not have to let officials in your home unless they present a warrant that specifically has your name on it and is signed by a judge.
2. Do not sign any documents.
3. You have the right to remain silent; if you do not have immigration documentation, ask to speak to an attorney.
4. You do not have to answer questions about your birthplace.
5. Do not falsify documents or lie about your citizenship status.
