We understand the anxiety you feel. Our mission is to replace that fear with a strategic plan of action. We will protect your rights and fight for your release.

What To Do If Confronted by ICE

Knowing your rights is your first line of defense. If you or a loved one is approached by ICE agents, it is crucial to remain calm and remember these practical steps:

• Remain Silent: You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer questions about where you were born or your immigration status. Say firmly, “I wish to remain silent.”
• Do Not Sign Anything: Do not sign any documents without speaking to a lawyer first. You might be signing away your right to see a judge.
• Ask for a Lawyer: Immediately state that you want to speak with an attorney.
• Do Not Open Your Door: If ICE comes to your home, do not open the door unless they show you a warrant signed by a judge. Ask them to slide it under the door or hold it up to a window.
