What happens once you are arrested by ICE? What happens in ICE detention?

Regardless of your immigration status, all people have the right to:

  • stay silent
  • call a lawyer
  • receive visits from a lawyer, your consulate, and your family if you are detained.

Visit our friends at National Immigration Law Center to understand your rights and what to expect if you or a loved one are detained by ICE
