Anyone who is arrested
should exercise his or her right to remain silent. This means that you
should not answer any questions asked by immigration authorities. Just
politely say "I want a lawyer," and contact a lawyer as soon as
possible. It is important to remember that immigration officers are
trained to investigate immigration violations and gather evidence to
build a case against you. In their search for evidence, rules are often
bent and statements are taken out of context in the pursuit of an arrest
and deportation. In fact, most people provide the evidence needed to
deport themselves through confessions, statements, or other evidence.
While it is always a good idea to be cooperative with law enforcement,
it is important to do so in a controlled setting where you have access
to experienced legal advice. We take our responsibility as deportation
defense attorneys seriously, and are available to help clients
throughout the southern California 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365
days a year. We also have extensive experience with the Arizona
immigration courts and welcome the opportunity to assist you.
