Lawyer explains ICE arrest powersfrom @wired

Can ICE arrest people without a warrant? And if so, if they're not wearing a uniform, a badge, or an ID, how are people supposed to trust them? ICE can arrest individuals without a warrant within a 100 mile zone around the entire United States. This includes 70% of The US population. So if you're in New York City, a nice officer walks up to you on the street and says, show me your papers. Entirely legal for them to do that. They also don't need no a warrant to arrest someone who they can positively identify as being in violation of US immigration law. Now they do need a warrant to enter a home unless they're in active pursuit of an individual. Now you're seeing today a lot of videos of ICE officers out there with no ID or ID that misstates who they are, the police. ICE is not the police. Or refusing to identify themselves as they arrest individuals. But until you have an administration that enforces requirements that they wear uniforms and identify themselves, You will see this continue until Americans get tired of it. There are a number of US citizens that have been arrested because they look foreign. Either they don't speak English very well or they don't have papers with them. In parts of The United States where that is outside the 100 mile zone, what ICE can do is they can surveil location. For example, an apartment complex mostly populated by immigrants. ICE walks around on their phones with an app with the photos of anyone who's ever given their photo to many DMVs, passports, and immigration. If you come up as somebody in their phone known to be undocumented, they will just arrest you without you saying anything. But our advice as lawyers is you simply remain quiet. If you're not under arrest, you rank, am I being detained? Not being detained? Walk slowly away. If they say they're detaining you, you're under best, and then you say, I'm not speaking without a lawyer. Don't resist arrest. Don't run away, but you have no obligation to talk to them. ICE did, in January, revoke guidance that prohibited them from going to places like schools and churches and hospitals. They're not going to those places, generally speaking, because there was a lot of pushback and a lot of litigation that was initially filed against the Trump administration for revoking those policies, but they are arresting people outside of schools. So people just don't send their kids to school.
