Receipt Notice Could Help Avoid ICE Detention, Claims Attorney

Immigration Attorney Offers Advice on Avoiding ICE Detention In a recent video, Attorney Martinez, an immigration lawyer, shared advice for individuals who may be at risk of detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Martinez claims that carrying a receipt notice from a green card application can help prevent detention during traffic stops. Martinez stated, "In some counties where police officers are working with ICE, they are legally obligated to call ICE on you if you are undocumented." However, she explained that two of her clients avoided detention by showing officers their receipt notices. She added, "If ICE knows that you are not immediately deportable, that makes their job harder and they are unlikely to detain you." While this anecdotal evidence is interesting, it's crucial to note that this is not a guaranteed method and should not be considered legal advice. Further investigation is needed to verify the effectiveness of this claim in various jurisdictions and situations. Always consult with an immigration lawyer for personalized legal advice.
