Immigrant Rights Resource Center

Español

The constitutional guarantees of equal protection and due process, or fair treatment within the justice system, apply to all people, not just U.S. citizens. These resources are intended to help people better understand the justice system and the safeguards it offers to ensure fair treatment.

The documents give information about your rights in different situations:

• General Information

• Safety Planning

• Preparing for Encounters with Law Enforcement

• If Detained

• Raids

The resources compiled here were produced by the ACLU of Tennessee and other immigration experts and advocates across the country, as noted on each document.
