1. Know Your Rights If Approached by ICE

  • Right to Remain Silent: You are not required to answer questions about your immigration status. You can say: "I am exercising my right to remain silent."
  • Do Not Open the Door: ICE cannot enter your home without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. In California, you do not have to open the door unless they show you one.
  • Don’t Sign Without a Lawyer: Never sign any documents without legal adviceβ€”this could affect your right to stay in the U.S.
  • Request Supervision: If you have children, medical needs, or caregiving duties, you can ask ICE for a supervised release while awaiting your hearing.
