The Nevada Immigrant Coalition and community organizers are sounding the alarm about expected Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in Southern Nevada later this week.

Laura Martin, executive director of the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, has been speaking with members of the legal community and said they want people in Southern Nevada to be ready, and know what to do.

"We've also heard from some attorneys that there are possibly 100 ICE agents who have moved into the area to complete an enforcement operation through the Easter weekend," Martin reported.

Martin encouraged all immigrants to know their rights if they are approached by ICE. She added regardless of someone's immigration status, all Nevadans have rights.

The ACLU of Nevada has created a guide to ensure people know their rights and know how to take action if their rights are violated.

President Donald Trump is encouraging those who are here illegally to self-deport instead of being deported "the hard way."

Martha Menendez, legal manager for Justice In Motion, encouraged those who think they could be in jeopardy of being deported to prepare a family plan, like having all necessary documentation in one place and thinking about other special arrangements. She added she wants people to be prepared, not scared.

Menendez stressed if ICE does knock on your door, do not open it. First ask for the reason of the visit and request to see what is called a judicial warrant.

"Make sure when you are asking them for documents, they slide it under the door, that they put it up against the window, that you see that it is signed by a judge and that it said they have the right to come in and arrest you," Menendez outlined. "Otherwise, they do not."

Menendez explains if an administrative order is presented, officers do not have the legal authorization to enter forcibly. She reminded everyone they have the right to remain silent and are not obligated to answer questions about their immigration status without a lawyer being present.
