What to Do if You Are Detained by Immigration Authorities
Know Who to Contact: If possible, contact your lawyer, family, or a trusted community organization.
Don’t Panic: Stay calm and know that you have rights.
Do Not Sign Anything: Do not sign any documents or papers without a lawyer present.
If ICE comes to your door
Don’t open the door unless ICE has a valid warrant. If you decide not to open the door, remain calm and ask them to slip the warrant under the door for you to see.
Politely inform them that you would like to see the warrant before allowing them in.
Remember: You have the right to remain silent, and you do not have to speak to ICE officers.
Do Not Sign Anything: Do not sign any documents or papers without a lawyer present.
