This section addresses the concerns and questions that people and their families often face when they have been repatriated or are in the process. Identify your case and know the options you have to solve it.
What should I do if I am detained by U.S. immigration authorities?
During detention it is very important:
To keep calm, do not try to run away or resist.
To provide a true name and address.
Authorities should ask if a person wants to talk to his or her consulate. If they do not, request it, it is a right.
Do not sign documents that you do not comprehend.
