Stopped by ICE? Here's what the Constitution says about your rights - Poynter

"Videos of confrontations between Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and Minneapolis residents have flooded social media, showing some of the 3,000 officers who are deployed in the city stopping, questioning and detaining residents. In one case, immigration agents escorted a U.S. citizen who is a grandfather of Hmong ancestry out of his house in his underwear in freezing weather. In another case, a father of a 5-year-old girl was briefly detained and zip-tied after he said a federal agent falsely accused him of not being a U.S. citizen because of his accent."

"The events have sparked protests and prompted confusion over what ICE is legally allowed to do in public and private locations. Are there limits on when and how ICE can approach or detain you? Does the law differentiate between encounters in public versus a private space, such as a home? And is the Supreme Court becoming more tolerant of aggressive ICE actions? Legal experts weighed in on the public's constitutional protections from immigration stops and detentions. What rights do people have when approached by ICE? Federal law gives immigration agents the authority to arrest and detain people believed to have violated immigration law. But everyone - including immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally - is protected against unreasonable searches and seizures under the Constitution's Fourth Amendment."

Minneapolis residents experienced confrontational enforcement by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, including a U.S. citizen escorted from his home in his underwear and a father briefly zip-tied after an accent-related accusation. Reports also describe a 5-year-old used to lure relatives outside before agents took the child into custody. The incidents sparked protests and created confusion about legal limits on ICE approaches and detentions in public and private spaces. Federal law authorizes immigration arrests, but the Fourth Amendment protects all people, including immigrants suspected of violating immigration law, against unreasonable searches and seizures.
