Know Your Rights: If ICE Comes to Your Workplace

✅ You Have the Right To ❌ Do Not
  • Carry your KYR/red card to show to any law enforcement officials
  • Carry legal documents showing your presence in the US
  • Say that you wish to remain silent, do not answer any questions
  • Consult with an attorney to assess your options
  • Not sign anything before consulting an attorney
  • Do not carry false documents
  • Do not flee or run away
  • Do not lie or give false information

Depending on where you work…

If you work at a public-access location
(like a store or restaurant)
ICE can only access public areas freely. Your employer has the right to clearly designate staff-only areas that ICE cannot enter without a warrant signed by a judge.
If you work in someone’s private home ICE cannot enter without a warrant signed by a judge or the consent of the homeowner. If you have co-workers, talk to them about their rights. Get organized together!
