Our City Our Rights

Welcome to Our City, Our Rights, a know-your-rights resource for New Yorkers who are immigrants (i.e., anyone who is not a natural-born U.S. Citizen) and people engaging in protest. This site has been created to share legal information and resources with people who are at risk of encounters with federal immigration agents and law enforcement. The following information has been compiled by New York’s public defender and legal services organizations to help New Yorkers understand and protect their rights.
