🖊 Do not sign anything that you do not understand. A translated summary might not be all the information you need. You can ask for an interpreter to read the whole thing to you.

❌ Do not lie about your immigration status on employment forms.

✅ You do not have to answer any questions from officers. But, if you choose to answer questions, only tell officers the truth. Do not lie.

🤐 You do not have to answer any questions from ICE or law enforcement. You have the right to remain silent and not say anything. You can tell the officers, "I am using my right to remain silent."

🏃 Do not run away from ICE or law enforcement if they approach you. You have the right to ask them if you are free to go. If they say yes, walk away calmly.
