4 Critical Steps to Take During an ICE Encounter

If ICE comes to your door or you witness ICE activity in your community, remember these fundamental rights:

1. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR: ICE agents must have a warrant signed by a judge (not an administrative ICE warrant) to enter your home without permission. Ask them to slide the warrant under the door.

2. EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT: You do not have to answer questions about your place of birth, citizenship, or how you entered the country. Say: "I am exercising my right to remain silent."

3. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING: Do not sign any documents (especially voluntary departure forms) without speaking to an attorney first.

4. DOCUMENT AND REPORT: Note badge numbers, number of agents, vehicles, license plates, and precise locations. Call the regional hotline immediately to report the activity.
