Please know your rights and protect yourselves and your workers. ⁣


ICE Workplace Liaison Instructions: ⁣

1. An I-9 in-person inspection requires three days written notice to the employer.  If an employer has not received a Notice of Inspection prior to the request to inspect the I-9 forms, ICE will have violated the law. (Keep in mind there are loopholes to this law that ICE often violates)⁣
   ⁣
 Warrant versus administrative Note: ⁣

2. While ICE may enter the public spaces of an enterprise, it may not go into the private areas, such as kitchens, offices or storerooms that are not open to the public without a judicial warrant.  A judicial warrant is one signed by a judge.  Sometimes ICE will present an administrative warrant.  This administrative does not allow for search and seizure.⁣

3. Employees are under no obligation to speak to ICE officials.  Employees do not have to identify themselves or their co-workers to ICE.  Managers can ask ICE officials to make a purchase or leave.⁣

4. Employees should not panic and run for the doors.  This can be interpreted as probable cause to believe that someone is deportable.⁣

5. If you are a bystander, you can film, you can alert people to the presence of ICE.  Do not obstruct.  Publicize what you witness.  Use local news platforms to spread the word of ICE activity.⁣
