Details below.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations generate fear and uncertainty within the immigrant community in the United States, especially among those who lack legal immigration status.

In light of this reality, a popular Latino content creator known as Carlos “El Pana” has taken to TikTok to inform and guide this vulnerable population through a viral video.

On his account @carloshope25, the influencer outlines the so-called “three golden rules” that undocumented immigrants can follow when encountering immigration agents.

These recommendations, based on constitutional rights, aim to prevent risky situations and ensure that immigrants are aware of their legal protections.

“Three Golden Rules” for Undocumented Immigrants Revealed

@Carloshope25 Three golden rules if you have an encounter with an immigration and customs agent in the United States: don’t open your mouth, don’t open your wallet, and don’t open the door #migration #ice #detention #ICEFAMILYINTERNTION #Readas #USA #USA #MigraCiCorte #inducumenados #Carloselpana ♬ Inspirational – Neozilla

1. Remain Silent

Carlos advises against providing personal information, as the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the right against self-incrimination.

If an ICE agent requests details such as name or immigration status, immigrants can respond with phrases like: “I do not wish to speak with you.” The influencer also suggests using red cards issued by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC), which clearly explain this right in multiple languages.

2. Do Not Show Identification Documents

The creator emphasizes that an ICE agent cannot demand personal documents without a court order.

“Do not hand over your documents. The immigration officer has no right to ask for your ID because they are not a police officer,” he explains in the video. If agents insist, it’s appropriate to ask to see the supposed warrant to verify its authenticity.

3. Do Not Open the Door to Your Home

Carlos warns that immigration agents cannot enter a home without a warrant signed by a judge.

If an ICE agent makes an unannounced visit, he recommends asking them to slide the warrant under the door before engaging in any interaction.

This allows individuals to check its validity and ensure it meets legal requirements.

What to Do During a Public Operation or Traffic Stop

ICE also conducts inspections in public spaces and on the road, which can result in tense encounters.

In these situations, civil rights experts suggest the following:

Pull over: Drivers must comply with the law and stop if instructed.
Ask agents for official ID: Since they don’t always wear uniforms, it’s appropriate to request credentials.
Keep the window partially closed to minimize risk.
Avoid handing over unnecessary documents, such as foreign passports or expired visas.

Do not consent to searches without a court-issued warrant, as an ICE agent needs judicial authorization to inspect a vehicle or personal belongings.

Protocols in the Workplace

Immigration operations may also target workplaces. In these cases, it’s advised to:

Distinguish between public and private areas, as agents can only enter publicly accessible spaces freely.
Refrain from sharing information without consulting a lawyer.
Exercise the right to remain silent if it seems the operation targets immigrant employees.

The Value of Information in Times of Uncertainty

The spread of educational and legal guidance content on social media is making a crucial difference for the immigrant community in the U.S.

Knowing and exercising constitutional rights can be key to avoiding deportation and protecting the dignity of those facing such vulnerable circumstances.

Carlos “El Pana” concludes his message with a call to stay informed, act calmly, and share this knowledge with others in the community so they can face these challenges more safely and confidently.
