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.
