For anyone who is undocumented (and people who are documented!), it's important to know your rights regarding ICE:
- Don’t open the door for ICE. They aren’t allowed into your house or workplace without a warrant signed by a judge.
- Ask them to leave.
- Stay silent. Do not talk to them without a lawyer.
- If you ask you your immigration status, your citizenship status, etc, don’t tell them anything. Don’t even speak to them.
- Even if you’re a citizen, still don’t tell them anything. ICE destroys communities, and every second of their time you waste is one less second they will spend destroying people’s lives.
- If you are detained, ask to talk to your lawyer. Note that ICE doesn’t provide lawyers so make sure you get one in preparation.
- Do not sign anything or give them any documents whatsoever without a lawyer in that room.
