00:00The deportation raids promised by President Trump are now a reality.
00:04Businesses, law offices, schools, and churches may be searched, so it's important to be prepared.
00:11Here's what you should know if you're caught in a raid.
00:15Don't resist arrest.
00:17Don't run or argue with officers, and keep your hands where police can see them.
00:22You have the right to remain silent and not answer questions from police, immigration agents, or other officials.
00:28So let your attorney know that you prefer not to speak until your attorney is present.
00:34Some organizations recommend only answering with your name and date of birth.
00:38Don't give out information about your nationality, and especially don't lie.
00:43Don't try to mislead your attorney about your immigration status or other personal information.
00:49It's always best to remain silent, as anything you tell an officer can be used against you in immigration court.
00:57It's important to have an attorney available beforehand.
01:00You also have the right to contact your consulate and ask them to inform them of your detention.
01:06Read the documents presented to you carefully.
01:08You can ask questions and request an interpreter if you do not speak English,
01:12but do not sign anything without first speaking with your lawyer.
01:15You can ask questions and request an introduction for me.
01:15Gracias.
