If ICE is seen in your neighborhood or someone is detained, please call the L.A. Rapid Response Hotline at 888-624-4752. This 24/7 hotline is run by CHIRLA and connects callers to trained responders. 

If someone has already been detained, Immigrant Defenders Law Center can provide legal guidance at 213-833-8283 (Mon–Fri, 9AM–4PM).

Protecting Your Workplace from ICE Guide Here is a snapshot: 

  • Anyone- including ICE agents - can enter public areas of your business without permission. 

  • Public areas include a dining area in a restaurant, parking lot, lobby or waiting area. 

  • Being in a public area does NOT give ICE the authority to stop, question, or arrest just anyone.

  • No one can enter a private area of your organization without your permission or a judicial warrant. 

  • One of the best defenses is to designate public vs. private areas clearly, and to have a plan with your staff ahead of time. You can find signage for that here

Know Your Rights

  • You have the right to remain silent and do not have to discuss your immigration or citizenship status with police, immigration agents, or other officials. Anything you tell an officer can later be used against you in immigration court.

  • If you are not a U.S. citizen and an immigration agent requests your immigration papers, you must show them if you have them with you.

  • If an immigration agent asks if they can search you, you have the right to say no. Agents do not have the right to search you or your belongings without your consent or probable cause.

  • If you’re over 18, carry your papers with you at all times. If you don’t have them, tell the officer that you want to remain silent, or that you want to consult a lawyer before answering any questions.
