Know Your Rights
All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have rights under the U.S. Constitution and other laws.
ABLE’s Agricultural Worker and Immigrant Rights (AIR) advocates represent immigrants throughout Ohio. We are the largest group of nonprofit attorneys and accredited legal representatives in Ohio. But we can represent only a fraction of those in need of our legal services.
Because there is no right to appointed counsel in immigration cases – even when people are in detention for months -- it is essential that you Know Your Rights.
The documents and videos below give information on how to protect your rights and family. Special thanks to the tireless AIR advocates and Ohio State Bar Foundation, the Supreme Court of Ohio Civil Justice Program Fund, Four Freedoms Fund of NEO Philanthropy, and the Ohio Access to Justice Foundation for financial support of these projects. Please note that these materials are not legal advice but are here to help you understand your rights in different situations.
