ICE At Your Door

ICE AT YOUR DOOR

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.

SAY THIS: "I do not consent to your entry. Show me a warrant signed by a judge through the window."

Ask for a Judicial Warrant

Ask them to slide the warrant under the door or hold it against a window. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.

Administrative (ICE)

DO NOT OPEN DOOR

Signed by an ICE Official
Header: "Dept. of Homeland Security"
No legal right to enter your home

Judicial (Court)

MUST OPEN DOOR

Signed by a Judge or Court
Header: "U.S. District Court"
Grants legal right to enter

Crucial Instruction: An "Administrative Warrant" (Form I-200 or I-205) is signed by an ICE official, not a judge. It does not give them the right to enter your home without your permission.

What to do: Step-by-Step

Keep the door locked. Do not open it even a crack to talk. Communicating through the door does not mean you are consenting to entry.
Stay Calm & silent. Tell them: "I do not consent to your entry. I am exercising my right to remain silent." You do not have to answer questions about where you were born or how you entered the country.
Ask for identification. Ask agents to pass their credentials and any paperwork under the door.
Record the interaction. If safe, film or take notes on badge numbers and vehicle plates.
