The recent presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in San Jose has raised concerns among locals, particularly Armando Ceja, who discovered agents were at his home while he was away. Despite being a legal resident, Ceja expressed confusion and fear over the raid, questioning ICE's motives and protocol. Experts emphasize the importance of understanding one's rights when faced with ICE, recommending that individuals know their rights to ask about detainment and to request legal representation if necessary. Community leaders advocate for awareness and preparedness among residents to handle such situations.
I was freaking out, you know? I got my legal resident papers here. I have citizenship for all my family and sons. That's my question. Why?
It's important for people to empower themselves by knowing their basic rights when dealing with ICE. They have the freedom to ask, 'am I being detained?'
If they are saying they are being detained, they have the right to remain silent and ask for an attorney and not cooperate.
They’re supposed to have a search warrant to do that and if they showed it to me, I'd be happy about it.
