Red Cards for Know Your Rights

You have the right to remain silent during interactions with local or state police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). 

You can exercise your right to remain silent by giving ICE or police officers the Know Your Rights Card, sometimes called a Red Card, or by telling the officer that you are exercising your right to remain silent and that you will not answer any further questions until your attorney is present.

You can print them on your own personal printer on red paper. Or pick on up at our office.

Online Detainee Locator System

To find someone in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, use this tool to search for individuals currently detained or held by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for over 48 hours.

What you’ll need to access information:

  • Search by A-Number: If you know the detainee’s A-Number, ICE recommends you use the A-Number search. The A-Number must be exactly nine digits long. If the A-Number has fewer than nine digits, please add zeros at the beginning. You are also required to select the detainee’s correct Country of Birth.
  • Search by Biographical Information: When searching by name, a detainee’s first and last names are required and must be an exact match. You are also required to select the detainee’s Country of Birth.
