Know Your Rights with ICE


It is extremely important that our communities know their rights if encountered by ICE. I am attaching a one-pager from the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs that explains these rights in various languages.

Additional resources in many languages can be found on nyc.gov/KnowYourRights and from the New York Immigration Coalition here.
