All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The Red Cards were created to help people assert their rights and defend themselves against constitutional violations. Knowing and asserting rights can make a huge difference in many situations, such as when ICE agents go to a home. Red cards provide critical information on how to assert these rights, along with an explanation to ICE agents that the individual is indeed asserting.

¡¡¡Sí!!! Estas son las instrucciones (tomadas del sitio web FastWeb):

• Para la pregunta "País de ciudadanía":

  • • • Se recomienda que los estudiantes con estado indocumentado seleccionen la opción "Sin selección" para su país de ciudadanía, lo que le permitirá omitir preguntas relacionadas con el estado de la visa y la residencia permanente (no se aplican a estudiantes indocumentados).

• Para la pregunta de su número de seguro social:

  • • • Se recomienda que los estudiantes con estatus indocumentado salten la sección del número de Seguro Social. Tenga en cuenta que no puede usar ningún otro número, como una identificación de contribuyente individual (ITIN) o un número de extranjero (dado con el estado de DACA), como sustituto de un número de seguro social.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes!!! These are the instructions (taken from website FastWeb):

• For the question asking "Country of Citizenship" :

  • • • It’s recommended that students with undocumented status select the “No Selection” option for their Country of Citizenship, which will allow you to skip questions pertaining to visa status and permanent residency (those are not applicable to undocumented students).

• For the question asking for your social security number:

  • • • It’s recommended that students with undocumented status skip the Social Security number section. Please note that you cannot use any other number, like an Individual Taxpayer Identification (ITIN) or Alien Number (given with DACA status), as a substitute for a social security number. 

Si y no.

• • • Debe saber que los estudiantes indocumentados no pueden recibir ayuda financiera federal para la universidad (en otras palabras, solicitar FAFSA), el tipo de ayuda del que dependen muchos estudiantes universitarios.
