As we have for many years, we are providing the following “Know Your Rights” information for members of the community.
Provided to the left are the following flyers, published by CLINIC (Catholic Legal Immigration Network). Included are (8) “Know Your Rights” pages to assist you with education and knowledge about your rights in various settings or situations that you might find yourself in.
It is strongly recommended that you carry documents that support your current legal status in the United States including, but not limited to your green card, employment authorization document, or visa with you whenever your leave your home.
If you are the beneficiary of a pending petition for a visa, or application to adjust your status, you should carry a copy of those receipts with you whenever you leave your home.
Additionally, you should have documentation that shows you have been in the US for more than two years. Ideally, this should be an ID issued to you at a valid address.
Always cooperate with law enforcement and answer any questions truthfully. If you are asked about your immigration status, provide proof if available. Remain calm and cooperate.
