What to know if immigration agents show up at your house or business

In a recent article about immigration rights, Laura Valdez, Executive Director of Mission Action and a Class of 2009 San Francisco LeadStrong alum, shared critical advice on what to do if immigration agents show up at a business or home. She emphasized that agents without a court-ordered warrant can only enter public areas, such as lobbies or customer-accessible spaces.

Valdez recommended that business owners display "staff only" signs to protect their workers' privacy, warning that agents could face legal consequences if they enter private areas without proper authorization. Her insights are part of ongoing efforts to inform and protect immigrant communities in the Bay Area.
