Understanding the difference is crucial, especially when it comes to protecting your rights during encounters with law enforcement or immigration authorities.

2 Remember If law enforcement, including ICE, knock on your door, do NOT open the door. First, ask them to slide a judicial warrant under the door. ICE and CBP have been known to use warrants that lure community members to surrender without due process.

3 Judicial warrant versus ICE warrant A judicial warrant is an official court order signed by a judge or magistrate that authorizes a search of private property, seizure, or arrest based on probable cause that a crime is being committed or has been committed. A judicial warrant will:

• Specify the specific address to be searched • Specify the time period in which the search must take place

• Particularly describe the place or person, or both, to be searched and things to be seized

• Be issued by a court and signed by a Judge or magistrate

4 This is a judicial warrant. This DOES authorize agents to enter your house or search your car. Bellow is an image of a judicial warrant, arrows point to relevant sections highlighting that it is a COURT ORDER, that it has your NAME & ADDRESS and that it has a JUDGE SIGNATURE "JUDICIAL OFFICER"

5 Judicial warrant versus ICE warrant: ICE agents have been known to use an ICE administrative warrant to bait people into giving them access to their homes, cars and belongings. This document is issued by a federal agency, such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or ICE, claiming its authority to arrest a person suspected of violating immigration laws. These administrative documents are not signed by a neutral magistrate or judge but rather by an immigration officer like an ICE agent or immigration judge.

• An ICE administrative warrant is NOT a judicial warrant. ICE administrative warrants do not give ICE officials authority to enter a place where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, without consent.

• If this happens-state clearly that you do not consent to them entering but do not physically resist. If ICE officials have already entered, then ask them to leave and state that you do not consent to a search.

6 This is an ICE administrative warrant which DOES NOT authorize agents to enter your home. Bellow is an image of an ICE administrative warrant, arrows point to relevant sections highlighting that THIS IS AN IMMIGRATION ORDER, NOT A SEARCH WARRANT and that it is SIGNED BY 'INS OFFICER' AND NOT A JUDGE OR MAGISTRATE.

7 If you are approached by ICE, remember:

DOCUMENT THE INTERACTION. Inform the agent that you are going to use your right to record. Take photos, video and write down all the details
