You should speak with an attorney before you agree to speak with the FBI or any other member of the Terrorism Task Force.
The Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA) legal department (CLCMA), will help you to determine the purpose of the interview, as well as what you can do to protect yourself. We will make sure that you know your rights and responsibilities.
We can help make sure that you don’t say anything that gets you in trouble. In some cases, our attorneys have been able to arrange for immunity before you speak with FBI agents.
- Write down the name, agency, and phone number of the person who contacts you.
- You may be required in some situations to identify yourself. Other than that, you have the right to say nothing. Let them know that you need to speak with an attorney.
- Since FBI interviews are usually not recorded, the only official record of the interview is often the FBI’s agent’s account of what happened and what was said.
If you decide to participate in the FBI interview, one of our attorneys can be present with you to make sure that your rights are protected.
