When ICE knocks, what do you do? It could be the middle of the night or the crack of dawn. No uniforms, no announcement, no transparency—just fear. But fear isn’t the only option. Knowledge is power. And in communities across Los Angeles, people are pushing back—with truth, courage, and megaphones.
If ICE doesn’t have a judicial warrant—signed by a judge—you do not need to open your door.
ICE often arrives with administrative warrants. These are not the same as warrants signed by a judge. And yet, many people open the door out of confusion or fear—leading to avoidable detentions and family separations.
💡 Key Takeaways:
- You do not need to answer any questions.
- You have the right to remain silent.
- Ask them to slide the warrant under the door or show it through a window.
- If it’s not signed by a judge, you do not have to open the door.
In neighborhoods like Boyle Heights and South Central, community defense groups are using megaphones to literally shield families—alerting neighbors, spreading awareness, and giving people a fighting chance to stay safe.
These aren’t just tools for volume—they’re tools for survival.
📹 This is why we always film the police. Including ICE.
Because too many disappear in silence. Because fear thrives in the dark. Because you could be the voice that saves the family next door.
This isn’t about politics—it’s about people protecting people.
So, would you use your voice if it meant saving someone else’s family?
And always film the police. Always for the people.
