The expert revealed that, although the people know that they should not open the door if immigration comes to their house, one of the new tactics is that agents are waiting for people to enter their car, either to go to work or to supermarket, for once inside, stop them.

While the second is that, once people are arrested, they are intimidated into signing, telling them that they could spend up to half a year in detention before they can see a judge.

"If you are detained, you have the right to request bail. Generally, detainees last two weeks to request bail with the judge. Do not think that they will be imprisoned for months," he warned.

In addition to this, Gálvez stressed that people are not obliged to provide information or sign documents.

"Your signature is not necessary to ask to speak to a judge, request a bond, or ask to speak with your immigration attorney," he said.
