Know Your Rights Flyers
In a Nutshell
All people in the United States, including undocumented immigrants, have Constitutional rights and protections. Neither immigration nor the police will assume you want to exercise your rights. You are in charge of asserting them by showing your Know Your Rights card or by telling the officer you are exercising your rights. These flyers explain your rights in various places and contexts.
