Rights and Protections

If an immigration officer asks you to identify a student or employee, requests employee or student records or information, or requests access to campus areas:

  • Follow the instructions on the Immigration Protocol Card.
  • If an immigration officer declares that exigent circumstances exist and demands immediate access, comply with the officer's request and contact CSUF PD immediately.
  • Contact Risk Management at 657-278-7475.
    Anne Grogan, John Beisner and Michael Coughlin in the Office of Risk Management and Compliance are the only designated campus officials who may respond to an immigration officer’s request. This is a monitored line. If the contact occurs outside of business hours, call 657-278-7475 or the CSUF Police Department at 657-278-2515.

Know Your Rights When You Make Decisions

The following advice about your rights is compiled and summarized from various resources about your rights. It is not a substitute for legal advice.

  • You have the right to remain silent. You are not obligated to answer questions from an FBI or law enforcement agent.
  • You have the right to ask to speak to an attorney. Your refusal to talk to an agent may not be used against you if you say, “I want to speak to an attorney before speaking with you.” Even if you have started a conversation, you are allowed to tell the agent you do not want to answer any more questions without a lawyer present. Asking for an attorney does not make you more suspicious.
  • You are not required to admit an agent to your home or apartment, unless the agent has an appropriate warrant. If the agent wants to enter your home, you have the right to ask for a warrant, which is a document signed by a judge saying the agent has the right to enter your home.
  • For more information about your rights, visit the CSU system's immigration resource page.
