ICE at your door

You do not have to open the door for ICE unless they have a warrant signed by a judge. An ICE administrative form (like a Form I-205) is NOT a judicial warrant.

This is legal information and a self-help tool, not legal advice. It was not prepared by an attorney. Laws change and every situation is different — talk to a licensed attorney before you act on anything here.

  1. Do not open the door. You can speak through the door or a window.

  2. "I do not consent to you entering. Please slide any warrant under the door."

  3. A real judicial warrant is signed by a judge and names your specific address or person. An administrative warrant (ICE form) does not give them the right to enter your home.

  4. "I am exercising my right to remain silent. I want to speak to a lawyer."

  5. Do not sign anything without a lawyer. Do not run.

  6. Everyone in the U.S., regardless of immigration status, has constitutional rights.
