One of the most common questions we get: Do you have to open the door if ICE knocks?

The answer is no — and knowing this could change everything.

YOUR RIGHTS when ICE comes to your door:

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR. ICE officers cannot enter your home without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. Ask them to slide it under the door or hold it up to the window.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. You do not have to answer questions about where you were born, your immigration status, or anyone else in the home.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY. Say clearly: "I want to speak to an attorney before answering any questions."

DON'T SIGN ANYTHING. Do not sign any documents without speaking to a lawyer first.

Immigration encounters are frightening. But you have rights — and knowing them matters.

Una de las preguntas mas comunes: Tiene que abrir la puerta si ICE llama?

La respuesta es no — y saber esto puede cambiarlo todo.

SUS DERECHOS cuando ICE llega a su puerta:

NO TIENE QUE ABRIR LA PUERTA. Los oficiales de ICE no pueden entrar sin una orden judicial firmada por un juez. Pidales que la deslicen por debajo de la puerta.

TIENE DERECHO A PERMANECER EN SILENCIO. No tiene que responder preguntas sobre su lugar de nacimiento, estatus migratorio, ni sobre nadie mas en el hogar.

TIENE DERECHO A HABLAR CON UN ABOGADO. Diga claramente: "Quiero hablar con un abogado antes de responder cualquier pregunta."

NO FIRME NADA. No firme nada sin hablar primero con un abogado.

F-1 students, this is urgent: ICE investigations targeting international students are increasing nationwide. A single paperwork error can lead to serious immigration consequences — including losing your visa status.

Here are 4 things every international student must do right now:

1. KEEP RECORDS OF EMPLOYMENT — All work authorization records, pay stubs, and employer letters should be organized and accessible.
2. MAKE SURE YOUR WORK AUTHORIZATION IS VALID — OPT, CPT, and STEM OPT authorizations must be current. Gaps or unauthorized work can trigger investigations.
3. DON'T IGNORE USCIS OR ICE NOTICES — Whether it's a Request for Evidence or a notice to appear, every communication requires a timely response.
4. SPEAK WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE RESPONDING — Do not reply to any federal inquiry without legal guidance.

MG Equity Law is here to defend your rights and protect your future in Connecticut.
