You Have Rights. Knowing Them Could Save Your Future.
News of “Operation Charlotte’s Web” is spreading fast — but in times like these, misunderstanding your rights can cost you dearly. Federal agents are detaining hundreds, and many people are unsure what will happen next.
Stay Protected During Raids
Whether you're undocumented, in the process of adjusting status, or here with a visa, your rights matter — especially under aggressive ICE enforcement. Afia Yunus and her team specialize in immigration law and can help you understand your legal options, prepare for possible detention risk, and defend your future.
5 Things to Know to Stay Legally Safer Right Now
1. Secure Your Identity Documents
Keep your green card, work permit, passport, or other legal paperwork in a safe and accessible place.
2. Know Your Right to Remain Silent
You do not have to answer questions about your status — politely state you want to remain silent and ask for a lawyer.
3. Do Not Sign Anything Without Advice
If you're given paperwork by ICE or Border Patrol, don't sign without consulting an attorney; it may waive important rights.
4. Prepare for Possible Detention
Talk with a lawyer about what happens if you are taken into custody — where you might be held, how bail works, and what legal steps to take immediately.
5. Build a Legal Plan
Even if you’re not arrested, now is the time to get an immigration attorney. Your case may change; having counsel ready could make all the difference.
These raids are creating a climate of fear — and without the right legal help, things could go wrong fast.
