Know Your Rights When Confronted By ICE
If ICE agents approach you at home, work or in public, it is vital to remember your fundamental rights. You have the right to remain silent and are not required to answer questions about your immigration status.
If an ICE agent asks for identification, you are not obligated to provide documents that reveal your status.
If ICE comes to your home, they cannot enter without a valid warrant signed by a judge. Ask them to slide the warrant under the door or show it through a window. If the warrant is not signed by a judge, you are not required to let them in.
Stay calm; do not resist. Contact an immigration attorney as soon as possible.
What To Do If You Are Detained By ICE
Being detained by ICE is a serious situation, but it is important to act carefully to protect yourself. You have the right to contact an attorney, and it is highly recommended that you do so immediately.
Do not sign any documents without consulting a lawyer, as this could impact your ability to remain in the country.
You also have the right to a hearing before an immigration judge. Our experienced immigration attorneys can advocate for your release and represent you in court.
