Image Transcription (English only):
If you find yourself interacting with an ICE officer in any location, including your workplace or out in the community, remember that you:
Have the right to remain silent when questioned or arrested by immigration officers
Should remain calm & keep your hands where the officer can see them
Discuss your immigration or citizenship status with the police, immigration agents, or other officials
Sign anything you do not understand. You should state that you wish to speak with an attorney
If an officer knocks on your door at home do not open the door.
ICE officers must have a warrant signed by a judge to enter your home. ICE "warrants" are not signed by judges; they are ICE forms signed by ICE officers and they do not grant authority to enter your home without your consent
If you're outdoors and think you see immigration officers nearby:
Move to a safe indoor space
If you are a US citizen and feel safe to do so record the activity with your phone and write down any relevant information about what you witness, always being careful not to interfere or otherwise obstruct the operation
post unverified information on social media
Interfere with the investigation or otherwise put yourself in harm's way
Establish a safety plan that your family can use if ICE arrests you. Key parts of a safety plan include
Identify your emergency contacts and memorize their phone numbers
Provide your child's school or daycare with an emergency contact to pick up your child
Provide authorization in writing for your emergency contact to make medical and legal decisions for your child
Tell your loved ones that if you are detained by ICE, they can try to use ICE's online detainee locator to find you (locator.ice.gov)
If you are detained it is important that you seek legal representation
*Note: I left specific phone numbers out of this post because they are local to Illinois/Chicago. Make sure to look up the relevant organizations for your area.
