The City of Hillsboro is listening to our community members and staff as they their share fears and concerns about federal immigration enforcement (ICE) activities in our community. With an increase in ICE activity in Hillsboro, many community members are afraid to go to work, go to school, access crucial resources, or simply live their lives. Get the latest information on the City of Hillsboro's plan to respond to the impacts of immigration enforcement.

We cannot prevent federal immigration enforcement, but we want to share resources with information on your rights, how to be prepared for interactions with ICE, and where you can find help & support if you or your family are affected by immigration enforcement.

We will continue to update this page and add additional resources to best support our community.

Know Your Rights & Carry a Red Card (Tarjeta Roja)

Red cards are provided in 56 languages on the Immigration Legal Resource Center website and distributed through local community-based organizations, nonprofits, volunteers, businesses, and private attorneys. These cards are available to citizens and noncitizens alike.

Front Side

The front side of the red card reminds you of your constitutional rights, as listed below.

You have constitutional rights:

Do not open the door for an immigration agent.
Do not answer any questions from an immigration officer if they try to talk to you. You have the right to remain silent.
Do not sign anything without speaking to a lawyer first. You have the right to speak to a lawyer.
If you are outside of your home, ask the agent if you are free to leave and if they say, leave calmy.
Give your red card to the agent. If you are inside of your home, you can show the card through a window or slide it under the door.

Back Side

The back side is always in English and is meant to be presented to an immigration officer. This side reads:

The back of a red card can be presented to an immigration officer and has information that states you are exercising your constitutional rights.

I do not wish to speak with you, answer your questions, or sign or hand you any documents based on my 5^th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution.

I do not give you permission to enter my home based on my 4^th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution unless you have a warrant to enter, signed by a judge or magistrate with my name on it that you slide under the door.

I do not give you permission to search any of my belongings based on my 4^th Amendment rights.

I choose to exercise my constitutional rights.
