You may ask for an interpreter at any point if you need one. Puede pedir un interprete si necesita uno.

The following are your rights inside your home:

Do not open your door. No abres la puerta.

ICE cannot enter your home if they do not have a warrant signed by a judge. Without a warrant, they can only come in if you let them. If they say they have one, have them slip it under the door or show it on the window. If the agents force their way in do not resist, remain silent.

Si los agentes entran con fuerza, no resisten pero queden en silencio. Los officiales de ICE no pueden entrar a su hogar sin un orden de arresto firmado por un juez de la corte criminal. Si les dicen que tienen una orden de arresto, piden que se los ensenen por la ventana o que lo pasen debajo de la puerta.

You have the right to remain silent. Guarda silencio.

You MAY refuse to speak to ICE officials. You do NOT have to say anything to them if you choose not to. Have a family member contact your immigration lawyer as soon as possible.

Tienes el derecho de guardar siliencio. Tenga un miembro de su familia que se puede comunicar con su abogado de immigracion.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path.
