The Constitution

Regardless of a person’s immigration status, everyone is granted certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. These rights include, but are not limited to:

  • The right to due process

  • The right to legal representation

  • The right against unreasonable search and seizure

  • The right to not be arrested or detained without a valid reason

  • The right to record interactions with law enforcement

Knowing your rights and protections under the Constitution is the first line of defense. To learn more about what to do during encounters with immigration enforcement agents and police, visit the ACLU’s Know Your Immigrants’ Rights page.
