Immigration Law Educational Resources

About

NAPABA is pleased to provide translations of concise immigration-related educational materials. Produced by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), these materials provide background on:

  • Rights that persons have in the event that law enforcement (including immigration enforcement) comes to one's home
  • Screening and detention of Lawful Permanent Residents at a port of entry, such as an airport
  • Important reminders during travel

We hope that NAPABA members and affiliated organizations share these resources with their community members and the public at large. At a time of heightened enforcement, it is paramount that individuals can learn about their rights in the language that they feel most comfortable. NAPABA is currently working on additional translations of these documents. These materials are provided for educational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice.

What to Know at Home

These materials, produced by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), describe what rights persons have in the event that law enforcement (including immigration enforcement) comes to one's home. All persons living in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Please note that persons with lawful immigration status have both rights and responsibilities, including a requirement to carry proof of such status and to show it if asked by immigration officers (See: 8 U.S.C. 1304) but also have a right to remain silent.

What to Know at the Airport or Other Ports of Entry

These materials, produced by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), provide information about screening and detention of Lawful Permanent Residents (or "Green Card holders") at a port of entry, such as an airport. Like all international travelers, lawful permanent residents (LPRs) - also known as Green Card holders - are subject to inspection by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) when arriving at an airport or land port of entry. While LPRs enjoy greater rights than nonimmigrants when returning to the United States after travel abroad, all noncitizens may face increased scrutiny at the border for reasons such as past immigration issues, interactions with police, and political activity. It is important that you know your rights when returning to the United States.
