One of our Union’s goals is to Fight for Justice for All

As a Union, we support ALL our members, including those who are immigrants or live in immigrant families, and our shared drive to live our lives with dignity and do our jobs in safety and security. We believe there is no justice until there is justice for all. That is why the majority of our members have said loudly that they want our Union to stand up for immigrant workers.

Know Your Rights

No matter your immigration status, you are protected by the U.S. Constitution. Knowing your rights can keep you and your family safe.

What to do if you encounter Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE):

  • DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR If an immigration agent comes to your door, stay calm and do not open the door. Ask them to slide any documents under the door or show them through a window.
  • DO NOT LET THEM IN WITHOUT A WARRANT Immigration agents cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
  • PULL OVER SAFELY AND STAY CALM If stopped while driving, pull over as soon as it is safe to do so. Stay calm and cooperative.
  • PROVIDE DOCUMENTS WHEN ASKED Show your driver’s license, car registration, and proof of insurance if requested. You still have the right to remain silent about everything else.
  • REMAIN SILENT Don’t answer questions. You have the right to remain silent (5th Amendment). Simply say “I will be exercising my 5th Amendment right to remain silent.”
  • YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK WITH AN ATTORNEY Do not sign anything or answer any question until you have spoken to an attorney. ICE can use everything you say against you.
  • KEEP IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS ACCESSIBLE Make copies of your immigration paperwork and identification, and store them securely (DACA, Work Permit, Visa, Green Card).
  • DO NOT LIE OR PROVIDE FALSE DOCUMENTS Stay truthful and do not hand over fake IDs or documents. It’s a crime to provide false documents.
