If ICE agents want to enter your house, do not open the door unless they have a valid search warrant signed by a judge; ask them to show you the warrant through the door or window, and if they do not have one, politely refuse entry by stating "I do not consent to your entry" and inform them you want to speak to a lawyer; never lie or provide false documents to ICE agents.

Key points to remember:

Verify their authority: Ask to see their identification and if they have a warrant before opening the door.

Do not consent to entry without a warrant: If they don't have a warrant, clearly state "I do not consent to your entry".

Right to remain silent: You are not obligated to answer any questions about your immigration status.

Consult a lawyer: If ICE agents are at your door, contact an immigration attorney as soon as possible.

What to do if they try to force entry:

Do not resist physically: If ICE agents try to enter without a warrant, verbally state your objection but do not physically obstruct them.

Document the encounter: If possible, record the interaction with your phone to document the incident.

Important considerations: Do not lie about your identity or immigration status: Providing false information can worsen your situation.

Do not sign any documents without legal advice: Carefully review any paperwork before signing anything.
Know your rights: Familiarize yourself with your rights regarding interactions with ICE agents.

You can ask if you are free to go: “Am I free to go?”

You can say that you want to use your right not to answer questions: “I want to use my right not to answer questions.”

Don’t lie.

DON’T SAY and DON’T SHOW false or expired documents.
