When dealing with ICE agents, always stay calm, remain silent, and do not open your door unless they produce a warrant signed by a judge. You have the right to refuse a search, ask if you are free to go, and demand to speak with an attorney. Never lie, use fake documents, or run.

Remain Silent: You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer questions about your birthplace or immigration status.

Do Not Open the Door: Keep the door closed. Ask the agent to pass a warrant under the door or hold it up to a window to verify it has a judge’s signature (a warrant signed by an ICE supervisor is not sufficient).

Verify Warrant/Identity: Ask for the officer’s name and credentials.
Do Not Consent to Search: If they enter without a proper warrant, clearly state: “I do not consent to your entry or to your search of these premises. I am exercising my right to remain silent. I wish to speak with a lawyer”.

If Detained: Do not resist, but say, “I am going to remain silent and I want to speak to a lawyer”. Do not sign any documents before speaking with an attorney.

Document the Interaction: Record the names, badge numbers, and actions of the agents, and if possible, have witnesses.

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉

As the National Director of Programming for The Collegiate Black Male Network, I remain deeply committed to amplifying the voices and experiences of Collegiate Black Men across the country.

By centering these lived experiences and engaging in meaningful dialogue, we aim to strengthen our community and continue building a growing network of supporters who believe in and support our mission as a nonprofit organization.

We are currently seeking student panelists for our upcoming State of the Educated Black Man conversation. This year’s theme, “A Shared Vision, A Collective Work,” invites students to represent their respective Black Male Initiatives or student organizations focused on Black Male success and to share insights from their collegiate journeys.

If you are a member of a Black Male Initiative or a student organization dedicated to advancing Black Men’s success and are interested in participating, please contact me at gdendy@thecbmnetwork.org.

We look forward to hearing your voice and continuing this important work together.
