Here is a script
- “Do you have a judicial warrant signed by an Art 3 judge?” If yes, they’ll just go in so it’s probably a “No.” If they say they do have a warrant, ask them to hold it up to the door to verify the address and person that it was issued against and the signature of a federal district judge or federal magistrate. Non-judicial warrants (perhaps form I-205) will be issued by immigration “judges”. These people are not real judges and cannot issue a warrant that allows ICE to enter your premises without your consent.
- If it’s a no or they don’t answer, you say “I don’t speak to law enforcement without my attorney present. Please leave my property immediately”.
- If they refuse to leave, call the local cops and tell them that you have people claiming to be law enforcement (who are armed) at your front door and you have asked them to leave your property, and they have refused or refused to acknowledge your command and do not appear to have a judicial warrant.
- Don’t say anything else to the people at your door or any other law enforcement.
- Call your lawyer immediately after getting off with local law enforcement.
That loud fucking knocking, man. Last I heard it was when I was taking a shower like, couple years ago. Got out, fuckin cop at my door. I answer in a godamn towel. He says “How long have you lived here?”
I say, “Uh, like 5 years?”
“And who owns the property?”
I tell him the name of the guy I’m renting from.
“Uh, OK… is this ___ S Harbor St?”
“No.”
“Oh, Ok”
Then he leaves. Dude was coming to evict someone at some property, and got the wrong address.
That same month cops shot a dude in my town. That house pictured? I bicycle past it like everyday, man. Makes me think, did they need to shoot him? Were they even arresting the right person at the right house? What if I was biking past at that time, would they have shot me?
Police in the U.S. get 3 months of training before they start walking the streets with a badge and a gun.
come to think of it, the cop looked a lot like This one.
