If agents come to your workplace

  • Immigration agents cannot enter non-public areas (like back offices or kitchens) without consent or a judicial warrant.
  • Stay calm. Do not run — running can be used against you.
  • You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer questions about your status.
  • Ask: "Am I free to leave?" If yes, you may walk away calmly.
  • Do not sign anything without talking to a lawyer.
