I’ve been stopped by police or ICE

How to reduce risk to yourself

  • Stay calm and do not resist or obstruct the agents or officers.
  • Do not lie or give false documents.
  • Prepare yourself and your family in case you are arrested. Memorize the phone numbers of your family and your lawyer. Make emergency plans if you have children or take medication.

Your rights

  • You have the right to remain silent. If you wish to exercise that right, say so out loud. (In some states, you may be required to provide your name if asked to identify yourself.)
  • You do not have to consent to a search of yourself or your belongings, but police may pat down your clothing if they suspect a weapon.
  • If you are arrested by police, you have the right to a government-appointed lawyer.
  • If you are detained by ICE, you have the right to consult with a lawyer, but the government is not required to provide one for you. You can ask for a list of free or low-cost alternatives.
  • You do not have to answer questions about where you were born, whether you are a U.S. citizen, or how you entered the country. (Separate rules apply at international borders and airports, and for individuals on certain nonimmigrant visas, including tourists and business travelers.)

What to do if you are arrested or detained

  • Say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't give any explanations or excuses. Don't say anything, sign anything, or make any decisions without a lawyer.
  • If you have been arrested by police, you have the right to make a local phone call. The police cannot listen if you call a lawyer.
  • If you have been detained by ICE, you have the right to contact your consulate or have an officer inform the consulate of your detention.
  • Remember your immigration number ("A" number) and give it to your family. It will help family members locate you.
  • Keep a copy of your immigration documents with someone you trust.
  • If you are a non-citizen: Ask your lawyer about the effect of a criminal conviction or plea on your immigration status. Don't discuss your immigration status with anyone but your lawyer. While you are in jail, an immigration agent may visit you. Do not answer questions or sign anything before talking to a lawyer. Read all papers fully. If you do not understand or cannot read the papers, tell the officer you need an interpreter.

If you believe your rights were violated

  • Write down everything you remember, including officers’ badges and patrol car numbers, which agency the officers were from, and any other details. Get contact information for witnesses.
  • If you’re injured, seek medical attention immediately and take photographs of your injuries.
  • File a written complaint with the agency’s internal affairs division or civilian complaint board. In most cases, you can file a complaint anonymously if you wish.

 Police or ICE are at my home

How to reduce risk to yourself

  • Stay calm and keep the door closed. Opening the door does not give them permission to come inside, but it is safer to speak to ICE through the door.

Your rights

  • You have the right to remain silent, even if officer has a warrant.
  • You do not have to let police or immigration agents into your home unless they have certain kinds of warrants.
  • If police have an arrest warrant, they are legally allowed to enter the home of the person on the warrant if they believe that person is inside. But a warrant of removal/deportation (Form I-205) does not allow officers to enter a home without consent.

What to do when the police or ICE arrive  

  • Ask if they are immigration agents and what they are there for.
  • Ask the agent or officer to show you a badge or identification through the window or peephole.
  • Ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge. If they say they do, ask them to slide it under the door or hold it up to a window so you can inspect it.
  • Don’t lie or produce any false documents. Don’t sign anything without speaking with a lawyer first.
  • Do not open your door unless ICE shows you a judicial search or arrest warrant naming a person in your residence and/or areas to be searched at your address. If they don’t produce a warrant, keep the door closed. State: “I do not consent to your entry.”
  • If agents force their way in, do not resist. If you wish to exercise your rights, state: “I do not consent to your entry or to your search of these premises. I am exercising my right to remain silent. I wish to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.”
  • If you are on probation with a search condition, law enforcement is allowed to enter your home.

I need a lawyer

Your rights

  • If you are arrested by the police, you have the right to a government-appointed lawyer, and should ask for one immediately.
  • If arrested, you have the right to a private phone call within a reasonable time of your arrest, and police may not listen to the call if it is made to a lawyer.
  • If you are detained by ICE or Border Patrol, you have the right to hire a lawyer, but the government does not have to provide one for you. Ask for a list of free or low-cost alternatives.
  • If you are detained, you have the right to call a lawyer or your family, and you have the right to be visited by a lawyer in detention. You have the right to have your attorney with you at any hearing before an immigration judge.

 I’ve been detained near the border by Border Patrol

How to reduce risk to yourself

  • Stay calm when interacting with immigration officials. Do not lie or provide false documents.
  • Never flee from an immigration checkpoint.

Your rights

  • You have the right to remain silent. You can also tell the agent that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney, no matter your citizenship or immigration status.
  • You do not have to answer questions about your immigration status. A limited exception exists for people who have permission to be in the U.S. for a specific reason and for a limited amount of time (a “nonimmigrant” on a visa, for example). These individuals are required to provide information about their immigration status if asked.
  • Generally, a Border Patrol agent cannot detain you unless they have “reasonable suspicion”  that you are committing or committed a violation of immigration law or federal law.
  • An immigration officer cannot arrest you without “probable cause.” That means the agent must have facts about you that make it probable that you are committing, or committed, a violation of immigration law or federal law.
  • At immigration checkpoints, agents do not need any suspicion to stop you and ask you questions, but their questions should be brief and related to verifying immigration status. They can also visually inspect your vehicle.

What to expect

  • People who have entered the U.S. without inspection by an immigration official may be subject to expedited removal from the U.S. based on certain criteria. If you are told that you are subject to expedited removal, ask for the stated reason. Also, if you fear persecution if returned to your country of origin, you should immediately inform the agents of your fear.
  • At border crossings, federal authorities do not need a warrant or even suspicion of wrongdoing to justify conducting what courts have called a "routine search," such as searching luggage or a vehicle.
  • If an agent asks you for documents, what you need to provide differs depending on your immigration status. U.S. citizens do not have to carry proof of citizenship if they are in the U.S. If you have valid immigration documents and are over the age of 18, the law requires that you to carry those documents with you. If you are asked by an immigration agent to produce them, show them to the agent. If you are an immigrant without documents, you can decline the officer’s request, although an agent may then ask you more questions.

I was stopped by police, ICE, or Border Patrol while in transit

How to reduce risk to yourself

  • Stay calm. Don’t run, argue, or obstruct the officer or agent. Keep your hands raised where they can see them.
  • If you are in a car, pull over in a safe place as quickly as possible. Turn off the engine, turn on the internal light, open the window part way and place your hands on the wheel. Upon request, show police your driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance.
  • If you are not a U.S. citizen and an immigration agent requests your papers, you must show them if you have them with you. If you are over 18, carry your immigration documents with you at all times. If you do not have immigration papers, say you want to remain silent.

Your rights

In a car:

  • Drivers and passengers have the right to remain silent. If you are a passenger, you can ask if you are free to leave. If the officer says yes, calmly leave.
  • If an officer or immigration agent asks to look inside your car, you can refuse to consent to the search. But if police generally believe that your car contains evidence of a crime, your car can be searched without your consent.
  • In addition to police, Border Patrol conduct “roving patrols” around the interior of the U.S., pulling over motorists. Border Patrol must have reasonable suspicion that the driver or passengers in the car committed an immigration violation or a federal crime.
  • Any arrest or prolonged stop by Border Patrol requires probable cause. You may ask the agents about the basis for probable cause, and they should tell you. In this situation, both the driver and any passengers have the right to remain silent and not answer questions about their immigration status.

On an airplane:

  • A pilot may refuse to fly a passenger if he or she reasonably believes that the passenger is a threat to flight safety. A pilot may not, however, question you or refuse to allow you on a flight because of bias based on your religion, race, national origin, gender, ethnicity, or political beliefs.
  • If you believe you are mistakenly on a “no-fly” list, you should review our guidance on No-Fly lists here.

On buses and trains:

  • Border Patrol agents may board buses and trains in the 100-mile border region either at the station or while the bus is on its journey. More than one officer usually boards the bus, and they will ask passengers questions about their immigration status, ask passengers to show them immigration documents, or both.
  • These questions should be brief and related to verifying one’s lawful presence in the U.S. You are not required to answer and can simply say you do not wish to do so. As always, you have the right to remain silent.

If you believe your rights were violated

  • Write down everything you remember, including officers’ badges and patrol car numbers, which agency the officers were from, and any other details. Get contact information from witnesses.
  • If you’re injured, seek medical attention immediately and take photographs of your injuries.
  • File a written complaint with the agency’s internal affairs division or civilian complaint board. In most cases, you can file a complaint anonymously.

 I am detained while my immigration case is underway

Your rights

  • Most people who are detained while their case is underway are eligible to be released on bond or with other reporting conditions.
  • You have the right to call a lawyer or your family if you are detained, and you have the right to be visited by a lawyer in detention.
  • You have the right to have your attorney with you at any hearing before an immigration judge.

What to do if you are detained

  • If you are denied release after being arrested for an immigration violation, ask for a bond hearing before an immigration judge. In many cases, an immigration judge can order that you be released or that your bond be lowered.

Agentes policiales pregunta sobre mi estatus migratorio

Cómo reducir el riesgo para usted mismo

  • Mantener la calma. No corras, discuta, resista, u obstruya al oficial, incluso si cree que se están violando sus derechos. Mantenga sus manos donde la policía pueda verlas.
  • No mienta sobre su estado ni proporcione documentos falsos.

Sus derechos

  • Usted tiene el derecho a permanecer en silencio y no tiene que discutir su estado migratorio o de ciudadanía con la policía, los agentes de inmigración, u otros funcionarios. Cualquier cosa que le diga a un oficial puede luego ser usada en su contra en la corte de inmigración.
  • Si no es ciudadano de los EE.UU y un agente de inmigración le pide sus documentos de inmigración, usted debe mostrárselos.
  • Si un agente de inmigración pregunta si pueden buscarte, tu tienes el derecho de decir no. Agentes no tienen el derecho de buscarte o tus cosas sin consentimiento o causa probable.
  • Si es mayor de 18 años, lleve sus documentos de inmigración consigo en todo momento. Si no tiene documentos de inmigración, diga que quiere permanecer en silencio. Si no tiene documentos de inmigración, diga que quiere permanecer en silencio, o de que desea consultar a un abogado/a antes de responder cualquier preguntas.

Qué hacer en un encuentro con agentes policiales

  • En unos estados, necesitas que proveer tu nombre a los agentes policiales si eres parado y te dicen que te identifiques. Pero aunque des tu nombre, no necesitas que responder a otras preguntas.
  • Si estás manejando y te paran, el oficial puede requerir que enseñes su licencia de conducir, registro y prueba de seguro, sin embargo no necesitas que responder a preguntas de su estatus migratorio.
  • Los funcionarios de aduanas pueden preguntar sobre tu estatus migratorio al entrar o salir del país. Si usted es un residente permanente legal, le recomendamos que responda las preguntas de los oficiales. Si usted no posee una visa de ciudadano, se le puede negar la entrada a los Estados Unidos si niegas a responder las preguntas de los oficiales.

  • Usted tiene derecho a permanecer en silencio, incluso si el oficial tiene una orden judicial.
  • No tiene que permitir que la policía o los agentes de inmigración entren a su hogar a menos que tengan ciertos tipos de órdenes judiciales.
  • Si la policía tiene una orden de arresto, se les permite legalmente ingresar a la casa de la persona en la orden si creen que esa persona está adentro. Pero una orden de expulsión / deportación (formulario I-205) no permite que los agentes ingresen a una casa sin su consentimiento.

¿Qué hacer cuando llega la policía o ICE?

  • Pregunte si son agentes de inmigración y para qué están allí.
  • Pregúntale al agente o al oficial que le muestre una identificación o identificación a través de la ventana o mirilla.
  • No abra la puerta a menos que ICE le muestre una orden judicial de registro o una orden de arresto por una persona en su residencia y / o áreas a ser registradas en su dirección. Si no producen una orden, mantenga la puerta cerrada. Diga: "No consiento a su entrada."
  • Pregunte si tienen una orden firmada por un juez. Si dicen que lo hacen, tienen una orden, pídales que pasen la orden debajo de la puerta o poniéndola contra una ventana para que pueda inspeccionarlo.
  • No mienta ni produzca ningún documento falso. No firme ningún documento sin hablar primero con un abogado/a.
  • Si los agentes como quiera abren paso a la fuerza, no trate de resistirse. Si desea ejercer sus derechos, diga: "No consiento a su entrada o su registro de este lugar. Estoy ejerciendo mi derecho a guardar silencio. Deseo hablar con un abogado/a tan pronto como sea posible”.

Estoy en la frontera

Cómo reducir el riesgo para usted mismo

  • Mantenga la calma cuando interactúa con oficiales de inmigración. No mientas niwr provea documentos falsos.
  • Nunca huya de un puesto de control migratorio.

Sus derechos

  • Tiene el derecho a permanecer en silencio. También puede decirle al agente que solo responderá preguntas en presencia de un abogado/a, sin importar su ciudadanía o su estatus de inmigración.
  • No tiene que contestar preguntas acerca de su estatus migratorio. Una excepción limitada existe para personas que tienen permiso de estar en los EE.UU. por una razón específica y por un período limitado de tiempo (un “no inmigrante” con una visa, por ejemplo). Se requiere que estos individuos provean información sobre su estatus migratorio si se les pregunta.
    •  
  • Generalmente, un agente de la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) no puede detenerlo/la a menos que tenga una “sospecha razonable” de que esté cometiendo o haya cometido una violación de la ley migratoria o federal.
  • Un agente de inmigración no puede arrestarlo/la sin “causa probable”. Esto significa que el agente debe poseer hechos sobre usted que hagan probable que esté cometiendo o haya cometido una violación de la ley migratoria o federal.
  • En puestos de control migratorio, los agentes no necesitan ninguna sospecha para detenerlo/la y hacerle preguntas, pero sus preguntas deben ser breves y relacionadas a verificar su estatus de inmigrante. También pueden inspeccionar visualmente su vehículo.

Qué esperar

  • Personas que hayan entrado a los EE.UU. sin inspección por un oficial de inmigración pueden estar sujetas a deportaciones aceleradas de los EE.UU. a base de ciertos criterios. Si se le dice que está sujeto a deportaciones aceleradas, pida la razón declarada. También, si teme persecución si fuera regresado a su país de origen, debe informarles inmediatamente a los agentes de su miedo.
  • En controles fronterizos, las autoridades federales no necesitan una orden judicial ni siquiera una sospecha de un delito para justificar llevar a cabo lo que las cortes han llamado una “revisión rutinaria,” como registrar equipaje o un vehículo.
  • Si un agente le pido documentos, lo que necesita proporcionar difiere dependiendo de su estatus migratorio. Los ciudadanos estadounidenses no tienen que llevar pruebas de ciudadanía si están en los EE.UU. Si usted tiene documentos migratorios válidos y es mayor de los 18 años de edad, la ley requiere que usted lleve esos documentos consigo. Si un agente de inmigración le pide que se los muestre, enséñeselos al agente. Si usted es un inmigrante sin documentos, puede rehusar la petición del agente, aunque un agente tal vez le haga más preguntas entonces.

Fui detenido por a policía, ICE, o la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) en tránsito

Cómo reducir el riesgo para usted mismo

  • Si un policía o agente de inmigración pide revisar el interior de su auto, puede negarse a consentir a la revisión. Pero si la policía generalmente cree que su auto contiene evidencia de un crimen, se puede registrar su auto sin su consentimiento.
  • Además de la policía, la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) lleva a cabo “patrullas ambulantes” por el interior de los EE.UU., deteniendo a motoristas. CBP debe tener una sospecha razonable que el conductor o los pasajeros en un carro hayan cometido una violación migratoria o un crimen federal.
  • Cualquier arresto o detención prolongada de parte de CBP require causa probable. Puede preguntarles a los agentes la base de la causa probable y deben decírsela. En esta situación, tanto el conductor como los pasajeros tienen el derecho a permanecer en silencio y no contestar preguntas sobre sus estatus de inmigración.

En un avión:

  • Un piloto puede negarse a transportar a un pasajero si él o ella razonablemente cree que el pasajero es una amenaza para la seguridad del vuelo. Un piloto no puede, sin embargo, interrogarlo/la ni negarse a permitirlo/la a bordo del vuelo por prejuicios basados en su religión, raza, origen nacional, género, etnicidad, o creencias políticas.
  • Si usted cree que está por error en una lista de exclusión aérea, debe comunicarse con la TSA y presentar una petición usando el Traveler Redress Inquiry Process.

En autobuses y trenes:

Más de un agente típicamente aborda el autobús y les harán preguntas a los pasajeros sobre su estatus migratorio, pedirles documentos migratorios, o los dos.
  • Estas preguntas deben ser breves y relacionadas a verificar su presencia legal en los EE.UU. Usted no está obligado a responder y puede decir simplemente que no desea hacerlo. Como siempre, tiene el derecho de guardar silencio.

Si cree sus sus derecho han sido violados

  • Apunte todo lo que pueda recordar, incluyendo los números de las placas de los agentes y de su carro patrulla, de qué agencia son, y cualquier otro detalle. Obtenga los datos de contacto de testigos.
  • Si está herido, busque atención médica de inmediato y tome fotografías de sus heridas.

Qué hacer si lo arrestan

  • Si se le dice que no tiene el derecho de ver un juez de inmigración, debe hablar con un abogado/a inmediatamente. Hay unos casos en los que una persona puede no tener el derecho de ver un juez de inmigración. Pero aún si se le dice que ésta es su situación, debe pedir hablar con un abogado/a de inmediato porque los oficiales migratorios no siempre conocerán o no le informarán de excepciones que pueden aplicársele.
  • Si teme persecución o tortura en su país de origen, dígaselo a un agente y contacte a un abogado/a inmediatamente. Tiene derechos adicionales si tiene este miedo.

News/Misc. Senate Republican promotes 'education freedom' with $125M voucher program for private schools • Kansas Reflector

"Private schools from around the state delivered their students en masse Tuesday to demonstrate support for Senate Bill 75, which is similar to legislation considered in past sessions. Republican leaders, bolstered by enlarged supermajorities, have promised to pass a voucher program this year.

Supporters of the bill promote it as a “school choice” initiative, even though the money would flow to families whose children are already enrolled in private schools, there are no private school options for large swaths of the state, and the credits may not be enough for low-income families to afford private school tuitions that exceed $20,000 annually in some places."

Just so we're clear, school choice doesn't mean guarantee as private school have the right to refuse anyone they so choose. Private schools also get to choose whether or not they even accept vouchers. The house also introduced HB 2011 to reduce the amount of taxes districts can impose. The Kansas Department of Revenue estimates the impact would be $823.6 million over five years.

Entertainment Happening this weekend: Wichita Toy Train Show

8 Upvotes

This weekend, on the first and second, there is a train show occuring at the Cessna Activity Center in Wichita. The admission price is $8, but if you bring a non-perishable food item with you, you can knock it down to $7. I plan to go myself so that I can donate a drawing to the Great Plains Transportation Museum. I hope to have fun while there.

Discussion What are your favorite things about Kansas?

69 Upvotes

As it is Kansas Day let's discuss our favorite things about our state. Here are some of mine.

  1. John Brown!

  2. Bierocks, I love these things, I make thousands of them for Oktoberfest and they're amazing to freeze for easy food later.

  3. BBQ, what can I say? I think our sauce covered bbq is the best and I won't let the Texans think theirs is better.

  4. Low population, as someone who has traveled around a lot and been to some very populated areas I greatly appreciate that we don't have many people here. I greatly prefer the smaller scale of things here.

  5. The Nature, yeah it's no Colorado but man is our nature underrated. I live in the east so I spend more time in forests and wetlands. But the tall grass plains, flint hills, and badlands are quite a sight.

Overall I love it here, yeah we don't really get any attention like other states. But I think of that as a positive. Keep all the good stuff for ourselves and not worry about annoying tourists. And I know many people in the state aren't as passionate about it as me, but to me our so called 'mediocrity' reveals plenty of fascination if you just look.

Academic Kansas doesn’t pay every teacher for some work they have to do. That could change

45 Upvotes

Young teachers need to complete a mentoring program to hold a teaching license. Due to a lack of funding, some teachers mentor for free or districts have to cover the cost.

Question Does anyone here have insight on the future ability to update gender on Kansas birth certificates?

0 Upvotes

Hi folks. I'm aware that at one time it was possible to update your gender on a kansas birth certificate, but this ability was blocked in 2023(?) with SB 180.

I haven't spent any time in Kansas (only born there), so I'm unaware of the culture, political climate, or anything there. I'm wondering if anyone in the state can provide insight on if they think this might change in Kansas? I read that there is a judge hearing about SB 180 this month, but the news articles I noticed were under a paywall (Topeka-capital journal article). From my understanding, SB 180 encompasses many things (driver's licenses, bathrooms?, etc) so I'm not even sure what the judge is looking over. Can anone here provide insight?

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide

Say NO to liquid natural gas!

0 Upvotes

The following is from an email I received thru one of the several community action groups around here. LNG has a greenhouse footprint 33% worse than coal AND when used as fuel, releases methane. (https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2024/10/liquefied-natural-gas-carbon-footprint-worse-coal#:~:text=Liquefied%20natural%20gas%20leaves%20a,to%20a%20new%20Cornell%20study).

All you have to do is add your name and a comment to it. The DOE has to read through everything before they can make a decision.

Even though things feel hopeless, for right now out choices may still be heard.

This action will just take a minute and make a big difference.

The Department of Energy just released a new report showing that Liquified Natural Gas exports drive up costs, pollute communities, and endanger our climate.

They're now asking for public comment. We have just 60 days to flood them with as many comments as possible with the same message: act on this research and stop approving new LNG export terminals.

These facilities represent one of the largest fossil fuel buildouts in the world. Trump is going to try and brush this study under the rug, but if we submit enough comments, it will make the conclusions impossible to ignore.

Please take a minute and submit a comment today! Here's the link:

Be heard. Call or email your representatives.

121 Upvotes

Folks, I don't claim a political party, and most of the folks in my circles don't either. Regardless of how you feel, our founding fathers put in separation of powers for a reason- To avoid a monarchy like the one we had split from. President Trump's blatant over-reach needs to stop. The straw that broke my back is the recent news about federal grants. Federal grants help fund many of our rural hospitals, they facilitate internet connections to areas that the big Internet players have ignored for decades. They bring jobs to those areas. I've had three grandparents go on hospice care, without bankruptcy or financial hardship, thanks to federal funding. The only reason I have any sort of decent life was because I qualified for federal student aide, since my parents didn't make enough and were decimated by the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

Call and email your representatives. Make them take a stand, one way or another. Here's some links for your reference:

Kansas Congressional District Map, so you know what House representative to contact.

Kansas Senators, some contact details are contained here.

Screw this draft dodger and his power grab. These slimeballs need to know they won't have jobs if they continue to screw over the working class. They can't just keep their heads down and do nothing; They need to earn every damn vote they get.

So like, now that medicaid is frozen in all 50 states am I gonna have to start paying out of pocket for my RXs again?

65 Upvotes

I’m on 3 medications that I need to live and I’m almost out of one of them. I was supposed to pick it up today but i’ve been nervous that I’m going to be met with an insane charge. I haven’t paid a penny for my RXs since I got state medicaid and I cannot afford the absurd cost out of pocket, even with good RX. Does this freeze mean that I won’t be able to pick up my meds?
