With the Administration’s announcement of ICE Raids across America, it’s important that immigrants understand their rights.  If you have any questions or need assistance, please, contact my office at 718-287-1142.

If Approached by ICE Agents or Police

• You do NOT have to reveal your immigration status and have the right to remain silent

If ICE Agents Come to Your Home

• You do NOT have to open the door
  Ask to see a search warrant through the window or for it to be slipped under the door
• A deportation warrant is NOT the same as a search warrant and does NOT authorize ICE agents to enter the home without permission
• You have the right to refuse ICE permission to enter your home if the agents do not present a search warrant signed by a judge
• If ICE enters without a valid warrant, ask for the agents’ names and badge numbers

If You Are Arrested or Being Detained
