Passengers, you have rights!
  • You have the right to remain silent.
  • When in doubt, do not answer questions about your citizenship or immigration status or sign any paperwork without the advice of a lawyer.
  • If you have valid immigration papers, you can provide them. Never provide false documents.
  • You can refuse a search of your belongings by saying “I do not consent to a search.”
  • You have the right to record video of immigration agents.
Tell your fellow passengers they have rights and should use them.

To report ICE activity or an active ICE raid, call 1-844-RAID-REP (1-844-724-3737), the WA Immigrant Solidarity Network's hotline.
