PLEASE READ THIS ABOUT THE IMMIGRATION COURT

• You will not be deported after the Court hearing unless 1) you have less than 2 years here in the United States, and 2) you have had your proceedings terminated with the Immigration Judge.  

• ICE CANNOT DEPORT you if your case remains open with the Immigration Court. Unless you have a prior order of removal, they cannot deport you immediately. 

• The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is reopening cases that were previously "Administratively Closed."  This is not a negative occurrence.  If I contact you in order to inform you that I received one of these motions, it means that in the future, you will have another Court hearing and a chance to present your case to the Immigration Judge.  

• Please stop watching unreliable sources on the internet or TV.  If it's not a government-supported website, it's likely not true.

• DON'T BE SCAMMED! Many attorneys, or people who pretend to be attorneys, like notaries, may tell you you have relief and take money from you.  Please check your attorney's bar number with the Arizona State Bar website. 

Know Your Rights: 

If ICE officers come to your home, it’s important to know your rights:

 1. Do Not Open the Door. ICE officers are not allowed to enter your home without a judicial warrant signed by a judge.

2. Without Leaving Your Home and without giving ICE Consent to enter, ask to see a Warrant. It is essential to know that even if ICE officers present you with an “administrative warrant” (such as a Form I-200 or Form I-205), this is NOT a judicial warrant that allows them to enter and does NOT permit them to enter your home without your consent. Remember:

• Judicial Warrant: Must be signed by a judge. It authorizes law enforcement to enter your home.

• ICE Administrative Warrant (such as Form I-200 or Form I-205): Not signed by a judge. It does not allow ICE to enter your home without your consent.

 3. Exercise Your Right to Remain Silent. You have the constitutional right to remain silent. You are not required to answer questions or provide information about your immigration status.

 4. Do Not Sign Anything. Without speaking to an attorney, do not sign any documents that ICE may give you.

 5. Take Notes About What Happened and Contact an Immigration Attorney.

Sabe sus derechos:

1. No Abra la Puerta. Los oficiales de ICE no pueden entrar a su hogar sin una orden judicial firmada por un juez.

 2. Sin Salir de Su Hogar y Sin Darle a ICE Su Consentimiento para Entrar, Pida Ver una Orden. Es muy importante saber que, incluso si los oficiales de ICE le presentan una “orden administrativa” (como el Formulario I-200 o I-205), esto NO es una orden judicial que les permita entrar y NO les da permiso para ingresar a su hogar sin su consentimiento. Recuerde:

• Orden Judicial: Debe estar firmada por un juez. Autoriza a las autoridades a entrar a su hogar.

• Orden Administrativa de ICE (como el Formulario I-200 o I-205): No está firmada por un juez. No permite que ICE entre a su hogar sin su consentimiento.

 3. Ejercite Su Derecho a Permanecer en Silencio. Usted tiene el derecho constitucional de permanecer en silencio. No está obligado a responder preguntas ni a proporcionar información sobre su estado migratorio.

 4. No Firme Nada. Sin hablar primero con un abogado, no firme ningún documento que los oficiales de ICE puedan entregarle.

 5. Tome Notas Sobre lo Que Sucedió y Contacte a un Abogado de Inmigración.
