What to Do if ICE Shows Up at Your Workplace

As immigration enforcement increases across the country, workers need to know their rights if ICE agents arrive at their workplace. According to legal experts, you have the right to remain silent and do not have to answer questions about your immigration status. You can ask if agents have a judicial warrant signed by a judge. If they don't have one, you are not required to let them into non-public areas. Keep emergency contacts handy and know the location of your nearest legal aid organization. Remember: stay calm, don't run, don't sign anything without a lawyer, and assert your rights respectfully.
