The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) offers a downloadable and printable template of wallet-sized cards to hand out to friends, family and neighbors who may not be able to speak to ICE agents in English if stopped or questioned. On one side, these handy cards outline what to do if stopped in one of nine languages. The other side, in English, informs the agent that your friend, family or neighbor declines to answer questions, sign any documents, etc.
