Subject: [NFBF-Tampa] OT: What to Do if You Encounter ICE

Dear All,

                I realize this message is very off-topic; however, I also
realize there are many of our fellow blind folks who are undocumented and
this information is essential for them. At the same time, it is apparent one
does not need to be an undocumented resident to face interference from ICE.
Even citizens are facing intimidation and threats. 

Often dressed in plain clothes, with masks covering their faces, ICE agents
are kidnapping people off the street for no reason other than their
political views.1 They are ripping mothers away from their children.2 And
federal officials are even arresting and charging elected officials from New
Jersey to Wisconsin.3 

Here are some important things to keep in mind if you witness or are subject
to an interaction with ICE: 

You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a valid warrant signed by a judge.
If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant
signed by a judge. The National Immigrant Justice Center has some examples
of what these warrants look like.

You have the right to remain silent. This is also true for anyone else in
your workplace or residence. You do not have to share personal information
like your immigration status or place of birth, either. 

You have the right to a lawyer. Assert it, and ask for one. ICE does not
provide attorneys, so try to consult one in advance. 

They cannot force you to sign documents or hand over papers without speaking
to an attorney first. 

You have the right to record your interaction, as long as you do not
interfere.
