Whether you meet ICE on the street or at home, remember:

▪️Ask for a warrant signed by a U.S. district court judge if ICE knocks on your door
▪️You have the right to remain silent
▪️You have the right to ask for an attorney

Know your rights no matter where you are ⤵️
What to Do If You Encounter ICE | KQED
