Printable "Know Your Rights" card

Print this, cut it out, and keep it in your wallet. Fill in the blanks (your lawyer, your A-number, an emergency contact) and give a copy to someone you trust. This is general information, not legal advice.

 Tip: set your printer to "Fit to page." Two small cards print — one for your rights, one for your contacts & help lines.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS — TPS

  • You have rights no matter your immigration status.
  • Do NOT open the door unless they show a warrant signed by a judge with your name. A warrant signed only by an ICE officer does not let them inside.
  • You have the right to remain silent. You don't have to answer questions or show foreign documents.
  • Do NOT sign anything without a lawyer. Never use false documents.
  • Stay calm. Do not run or lie.
Say: "I want to remain silent. I want to speak to a lawyer."
Kreyòl: "Mwen vle rete an silans. Mwen vle pale ak yon avoka."
Español: "Quiero guardar silencio. Quiero hablar con un abogado."
