According to ChatGPT if ICE comes to your private home or business [View all]

"1. At Your Home

ICE agents cannot legally enter your home without:

A judicial warrant (signed by a federal judge or magistrate).

Your consent (you say yes, or open the door and let them in).

⚠️ ICE often carries administrative warrants (Form I-200 or I-205), which are signed by ICE officials, not a judge. These do not give them the authority to enter your home without your permission. You are not required to open the door.

2. At a Business

If it’s a non-public area of a business (like offices, kitchens, or storage rooms), ICE also needs either:

A judicial warrant, or

Permission from the business owner/manager.

For public areas (like a restaurant dining room or store floor), ICE can generally enter without a warrant.

3. What to Do If ICE Comes

You can ask to see the warrant before opening the door or letting them in.

Check if it’s signed by a judge and if it lists your correct name and address.

If it’s only signed by ICE, you can legally refuse entry."
