Rights, Boundaries, and Safety: A Guide for ICE Encounters and Native-Serving Nonprofits

This resource provides practical Know Your Rights guidance for individuals approached by ICE at home, work, or in public—covering when a judicial warrant is required, the right to remain silent, how to request supervisory review on ID issues (e.g., Tribal IDs), and the importance of recording interactions safely and seeking legal help—along with post-encounter steps. It also includes a field-friendly fact sheet for Native-serving nonprofits on designating public vs. private spaces, enforcing access policies to protect Fourth Amendment rights, staff roles, and preparing for potential police or ICE encounters, plus contacts for legal aid and detainee resources.
