24 Apr What to do if ICE is intending to enter your home

Whenever ICE is intending to enter your home:

• Do not open your door if you do not want to speak to them.
• Check the warrant: If they present a warrant issued by a judge of State of Federal Court, carefully review it as to limit of the warrant.
• Do not resist if they force their way in.
• Inform them you want to speak to a lawyer.
• Do not sign any documents.

ICE has been conducting immigration enforcement operations, which some have termed raids, in Los Angeles, focusing on individuals with criminal convictions, illegal re-entrants, and immigration fugitives. These operations have resulted in numerous arrests, with a significant percentage of those arrested having prior criminal convictions. Community groups and activists have responded with protests and community patrols to support and educate immigrant communities about their rights during ICE encounters.

Specific Examples:

• Operation in February 2025:
  A five-day enforcement operation in Los Angeles resulted in 161 arrests, with 94% of those arrested having prior criminal convictions.
• Arrests of Gang Members:
  ICE has arrested individuals, including gang members, with criminal records.
• Raids on Homes:
  ICE has raided homes in various parts of Los Angeles, including Pico Union and South L.A.
• Activists’ Efforts:
  Activists have been patrolling neighborhoods to educate residents about their rights and to disrupt ICE operations.
  Community Concerns:
• Family Separation:
  Immigrant families in Los Angeles fear the potential for family separation during ICE raids.
• Racial Profiling:
  Some community members and advocates have raised concerns about racial profiling and disproportionate targeting of Latino and minority communities.
• Impact on Communities:
  The raids have created fear and anxiety among immigrant communities, leading to a need for increased support and resources.
