Can you provide, or point us to, a simple bilingual handout for employees and a short employer protocol?
Attorney Answer
The Immigrant Legal Resource Center publishes printable Red Cards in English, Spanish and other languages. Have counsel adapt a short employer protocol to the actual sites and current law: a designated spokesperson and alternate, counsel's number, how to read the process being shown (judicial warrant, ICE administrative warrant, or I-9 Notice of Inspection), which areas are public and non-public, record preservation, documenting the encounter, and family and legal contacts. Include the no-obstruction and no-false-statement rules (8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A); 18 U.S.C. § 1001) and the three-business-day production window for an I-9 inspection (8 C.F.R. § 274a.2(b)(2)(ii)).
Materials should explain the registration-document exception to 'stay silent' (8 U.S.C. § 1304(e)), say that a card does not prevent arrest, and stay general. Utah's rule permits 'providing general legal information, opinions, or recommendations about possible legal rights, remedies, defenses, procedures, options, or strategies, but not specific advice related to another person's facts or circumstances' (SCRP 4-802(d)(2)). Since 2026, unauthorized practice of law in Utah is a class A misdemeanor with a private right of action (Utah Code § 78A-9-103), which is a good reason to keep HR to procedure and referrals. A protocol is an operating document, not a substitute for individual advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can employers get bilingual rights cards?
The Immigrant Legal Resource Center publishes printable Red Cards in English, Spanish and other languages. They are educational material, not law.
What belongs in a short employer ICE protocol?
A designated spokesperson and alternate, counsel's number, how to tell a judicial warrant from an ICE warrant and an I-9 Notice of Inspection, which areas are public and non-public, record preservation, documenting the encounter, and family and legal contacts.
Can HR explain the handout to employees?
HR can give general information. Utah's rule allows general legal information but not specific advice about another person's facts, and since 2026 unauthorized practice of law in Utah is a class A misdemeanor, so individual questions should go to a lawyer.
