Immigrants: Donald Trump is cruelly targeting families. But it's important to know we're a country of laws & YOU HAVE RIGHTS!

Below, I'll detail some of them. Please share so our neighbors and friends know how to protect themselves. 1/
You do not have to say anything! You cannot be forced to answer questions. In fact, you have the legal right to refuse to speak to immigration officers at all. 2/
You have the right to a lawyer before you do anything. Immigration officers may pressure you to sign a document waiving your rights & protections. You should not sign anything without the lawyer you're entitled to there to counsel you. 3/
If at home, you do not have to open your door unless the officers show you a warrant *signed by a judge, justice of the peace or magistrate.* That last part is key. Unless a judge, justice of the peace or magistrate signed the warrant, an officer cannot enter your home 4/
If you are not a U.S. citizen, you have the right to speak to your home country's embassy or consulate. Immigration or police must allow you to speak with them. Remember to stay calm, silent, and strong. And record or write down everything. #KnowYourRights 5/5
