Criminal Cases and Immigration Consequences - Chicago, Illinois
QUESTIONS YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER
Know your Rights! Under United States law, when you are questioned by immigration agents or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents or other police or law enforcement officers, you do not have to answer the following questions:
When and where you were born.
Your address.
Where your parents were born.
Where you lived before living in the United States.
Where you come from.
How you came to the United States.
What is your nationality.
Where your passport is from.
Whether you have a Social Security number or not.
Whether you or your family members have a U.S. permanent residence (green card) or other immigrant documentation.
You can choose to answer other questions, such as your name. However, if you are unsure what questions to answer, the best thing to do is to assert your rights by remaining silent and asking to speak to an attorney. Remember, what you say can be used against you later in the legal process.
