All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The Know Your Rights Red Cards were created to help people assert their rights and defend themselves against constitutional violations. Knowing and asserting rights can make a huge difference in many situations, such as when ICE agents go to a home. Red cards provide critical information on how to assert these rights, along with an explanation to ICE agents that the individual is indeed asserting their rights.
The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC), a national nonprofit resource center, has produced these immigrant rights cards that you can order, have printed locally, or print from your own computer. They are available in English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese, Hmong, Korean and Vietnamese.
