“Immigrants who are stopped, arrested, or detained by Immigration or other law enforcement have certain rights. But non-citizens without status must be especially careful when encountering law enforcement in the United States or at the border. If you encounter law enforcement at work, on the street, after a traffic stop, or at home, you usually have the same constitutional rights as U.S. citizens. You may have fewer rights when interacting with law enforcement agents at the border or an airport.
