What Are My Rights During an ICE Raid?
1.Don’t Open the Door — ICE can’t enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
2.Ask to Speak to a Lawyer— TheNational Immigration Law Center (NILC) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) both advise asking for a lawyer before you speak to ICE. If you’re at risk, try to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. If you need help finding an immigration attorney in your area, there are resources online, including the National Lawyers Guild National Immigration Project, which has state-by-state listings (though not all 50 states have attorneys included).
3.Remain Silent or Tell ICE You Wish to Do So — You have the right to remain silent in any interaction with an ICE agent, and you can tell them so. What you say can be used against you in immigration court or deportation proceedings.
4.Don’t Sign Anything — Unless you’ve already spoken to a lawyer who advises it, the NILCandACLU say you shouldn’t sign any documents ICE asks you to.
5.Don’t Lie or Provide False Documents — Lying to ICE agents can be dangerous.
6. Don’t Flee or Resist Arrest — If you run from ICE, the results can be deadly not just legally dangerous. People who help an immigrant escape ICE can be charged with things like obstruction of justice by the Department of Justice. People who attempt to physically stop an arrest can also be charged with resisting a public officer.
