1. EVERYONE has the right to remain silent. You can lawfully refuse to speak with an I.C.E agent and not answer any questionsโ€”especially about your birthplace, immigration status, or how you entered the U.S.
2. EVERYONE has the right to speak to an attorney and to not sign anything before doing so. Remember to not show any foreign or false documents.
3. EVERYONE has the right to refuse a search of their person and belongings without a judicial warrant.
4. EVERYONE has the right to make a phone call if taken into custody.
5. EVERYONE has the right to record I.C.E. and police in public, as long as they donโ€™t interfere with an arrest. Allies, such as U.S. citizens, can help by writing down names, badge numbers, and witness contacts.

The US Constitution protects these fundamental rights for EVERYONE - documented or undocumented.

The world has made great progress in HIV treatment. We have the medicines, the tools, and the resolve to end AIDS. โ€‹

In 2024, 31.6M people received lifesaving antiretroviral therapy.โ€‹

But in 2025, sudden funding cuts disrupted services for millions, placing that progress at risk.โ€‹

Together, we can fill the gaps caused by these disruptions. Support our work below:
