What if an immigration agent knocks on your door

US President Donald Trump decided to postpone the promised mass deportations of illegal immigrants for two weeks. However, not so massive immigration raids are carried out regularly, and immigrants who may be at risk should know their rights.

Despite the fact that the mass deportation was postponed, the threat for immigrants to be detained by an ICE agent persists.

Because of this, the Florida Immigrant Coalition issued recommendations on what to do if an ICE agent knocks on your door.

  • Do not open the door.
  • Ask for a court order, which can be put under the door. It must contain your correct name and address, as well as the signature of the judge. If the document does not contain this information, say that you do not allow agents to enter, and call your lawyer.
  • Keep silent until you speak to your attorney.
  • Do not provide any information about yourself, your place of birth, or when / how you came to the United States.
  • Do not sign any documents that you do not understand.

Experts recommend not to lie about your place of birth, how you got into the country, or whether you are a US citizen. However, it is better to provide this information in the presence of your lawyer.

What if I'm a naturalized immigrant? Permanent resident?

Naturalized immigrants or permanent residents can tell ICE their immigration status, but if they cannot immediately provide proof of this, they can be detained.

Experts recommend that you have with you the relevant documents, such as a permanent resident card (green card) or ID, confirming US citizenship. If you do not have them with you, keep calm and silence.
