Print out and carry a Know Your Rights card.
Carry it with you, along with any valid U.S. immigration document you have, to show ICE or the police if they stop you.
The card, created by the National Immigration Law Center, asserts your right to remain silent and states that you will not sign anything until you have spoken with a lawyer. It is a crucial tool to help protect yourself during encounters with immigration or law enforcement officers.
