Panel Title: Know Your Rights when Encountering ICE

Description:
What are your rights when encountering immigration enforcement? This session will cover what to do when interacting with federal immigration officers on the street, in an office, and in living spaces. In addition to focusing on the local context in Hawai‘i, this session will address how service providers and impacted individuals can prepare and build readiness for potential immigration enforcement. We will cover judicial vs. administrative arrest warrants, how to prepare a response plan, and leave plenty of time for questions and answers.
