There has been an increase in ICE activity in stores, workplaces, on the street and in other public places. Click here to learn what to do if you encounter ICE in public or see the graphic below for tips if ICE comes to your workplace.
Everyone in the U.S., regardless of immigration status, has certain Constitutional rights. If immigration officers (ICE) come to your workplace, they must have a valid search warrant or the consent of your employer to enter non-public areas.
| ✅ You Have the Right To | ❌ Do Not |
|---|---|
|
|
| If you work at a public-access location (like a store or restaurant) |
ICE can only access public areas freely. Your employer has the right to clearly designate staff-only areas that ICE cannot enter without a warrant signed by a judge. |
| If you work in someone’s private home | ICE cannot enter without a warrant signed by a judge or the consent of the homeowner. If you have co-workers, talk to them about their rights. Get organized together! |
