We believe the raids will be focusing on people with prior orders of deportation who entered after 2014. This means can mean folks who never had notice of court in the first place, those seeking counsel to understand their case 2/8
and those who were subject to expedited removal at the border by CBP agents who did not inform them of their rights. Additionally, raids may also target not only those with old deportation orders, but those who are present at the time of a raid and their family members. 3/8
Additionally, raids may also target not only those with old deportation orders, but those who are present at the time of a raid and their family members. Which means that community members must be ready to assert their rights. 4/8
1. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.
ICE does not have the right to enter your home without a valid warrant that is signed by a judge. Even if they are trying to enter, or do enter, continue to say "I do not consent" #ICEraids #KnowYourRights 5/8

2. REMAIN CALM.
Don't run & most importantly do not lie about your name, age, immigration status, etc. Anything you say or do can be used against you. If ICE questions you, under the 5th Amendment, you have the right to remain silent & not incriminate yourself. #ICEraids 6/8

3. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING ICE GIVES TO YOU.
Ask to have documents translated. If you do not speak English ask for an interpreter. Remember, if you witness someone being detained by ICE, you have the right to record as long as you do not interfere with the arrest. #ICEraids 7/8

4. MAKE A FAMILY PLAN.
If you have children, identify a caretaker. Make sure your family is prepared if ICE arrives at your home. Have all your personal documents and finances secure, and make sure you have at least one number memorized in case of an emergency. #ICEraids /END
