What to Do If ICE Comes to Your Workplace

How to protect every Teamster if ICE comes to your workplace.

ICE raids are on the rise. Teamster locals are taking action to make sure that shop stewards and members know their rights and stick together. 

If ICE comes to your workplace, every member has the right to remain silent. No one has to share their immigration status with ICE agents if asked. 

Every Teamster can just say that they wish to remain silent. 

Every Teamster can say they want to speak to an attorney.

Every Teamster has a legal right to refuse to sign anything without advice from an attorney. 

The National Immigration Law Center has resources and “Know Your Rights” cards in different languages that members can carry with them or pass out to other Teamsters. Click here for a Spanish-language version.


Cómo protegemos a todos los Teamsters si ICE viene a su lugar de trabajo.

Los operativos de ICE han aumentado. Locales de Teamsters están tomando acción para asegurar que los shop stewards y miembros conozcan sus derechos y que se queden unidos.

Si ICE llega a su lugar de trabajo, los miembros tienen el derecho de permanecer en silencio. Usted no tiene que compartir su estado migratorio con su empleador o agentes de ICE si se lo piden. 

Usted puede decir que desea permanecer en silencio.  

Usted puede decir que desea hablar con un abogado. 

Usted puede negarse a firmar cualquier documento sin consejo de un abogado. 

El Centro de Ley de Inmigración Nacional tiene recursos y tarjetas de conocimiento de sus derechos que puede llevar consigo o compartir con otros Teamsters.
