Understanding ICE Arrests

What Is an ICE Arrest?

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a federal agency tasked with enforcing immigration laws in the U.S. ICE arrests typically involve detaining individuals suspected of violating those laws, such as overstaying a visa, entering the country without proper documentation, or facing criminal allegations related to immigration status. Individuals detained by ICE are often held in immigration detention facilities until their case is resolved.

What Are Your Rights During an ICE Arrest?

If you or a loved one is arrested, it is critical to understand your rights:

• Right to Remain Silent: You are not required to answer questions about your immigration status without legal representation.
• Right to an Attorney: While ICE does not provide government attorneys, you have the right to hire a lawyer.
• Right to Refuse Consent to Search: Unless presented with a warrant signed by a judge, you may decline to allow ICE officers to enter your home or look through your belongings.

The process of detention and potential deportation can be overwhelming, but timely legal intervention may make a world of difference.
