Abstract
Imagine you are washing dishes in the restaurant where you work when government officials walk through the front door. You hear them announce that they have a warrant to search the restaurant and ask to speak with the owners. Amidst all of the confusion and panic, you become instantly alarmed. If the owners are arrested, you will lose your job, your living space, and your means of transportation. Even more terrifying, you realize the impending raid likely indicates your imminent removal from the country. You are one of the estimated 11,047,000 unauthorized immigrants currently living in the United States. If your status is discovered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), you will be ordered to leave or, worse, forcibly removed from the country.
