No, undocumented immigrants (often called "illegals") are not legally required to provide information about their immigration status to law enforcement or other officials, and they have the right to remain silent when questioned about it; however, if stopped by immigration authorities, they may be detained while their status is verified, and providing false information can have legal consequences.
Key points to remember:
Right to remain silent:
Undocumented individuals have the right to not answer questions about their immigration status when questioned by law enforcement.
Potential for detention:
If someone does not provide information about their immigration status during a stop, authorities might detain them for a reasonable period to verify their status.
Do not lie:
Providing false information to immigration officials can lead to further legal complications.
