Be prepared if ICE tries to come to your workplace. Don't wait to talk to supervisors until agents are on site. Make a plan now, same as you would for a fire drill. Then if ICE comes to your job follow the plan. and if they don't have a judicially signed warrant, you don't have to let them in.
PrepΓ‘rese si la migra intenta ir a su lugar de trabajo. No espere a que los agentes lleguen para hablar con sus supervisores. Prepare un plan ahora, como lo harΓa para un simulacro de incendio. Si ICE llega a su trabajo, siga el plan. Y si no tienen una orden judicial, no tiene que dejarlos entrar.
