Rights if ICE comes to my door

immigration attorney New York Oct 28, 2026
Location: New York, Nassau County, Town of Hempstead. What are my rights if ICE comes to my door wanting to search my house? My family are all citizens but occasionally we have visitors whose legal status is unknown to me. Does ICE need to have a judicial warrant? Someone told me they sometimes use an “administrative” warrant. I don’t know what that is, but is it valid? I’ve also heard I should check to see if the judge who signed the warrant is a genuine judge. Any immigration attorneys out there who can answer these questions?
