Zepeda Law Firm Featured in Star-Telegram Article on Constitutional Rights During ICE Encounters

Zepeda

Fort Worth, TexasZepeda Law Firm, a leading immigration law firm in Fort Worth, is proud to be featured in a recent Star-Telegram article discussing the constitutional rights of individuals during encounters with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In the wake of a new executive order increasing mass deportations, concerns have risen about the limits of ICE’s authority and the rights of both citizens and non-citizens under the U.S. Constitution.

The article provided crucial legal insights into the protections afforded to individuals under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. Yadira Zepeda, the firm’s managing attorney, has over twenty years of experience in immigration law and emphasizes the importance of knowing one’s rights when confronted with ICE.

“We understand that ICE prioritizes detaining individuals with criminal backgrounds or outstanding deportation orders,” said Zepeda. “However, the increased enforcement efforts have also led to situations that may infringe upon people’s constitutional rights.”

The Star-Telegram article highlighted key legal protections that individuals should be aware of:

  • ICE cannot enter a home or business without a judicial warrant, which must be signed by a judge and specify the location and individual in question. Administrative warrants alone do not grant ICE the authority to enter private property.
  • Individuals have the right to remain silent. Under the Fifth Amendment, people are not required to answer questions from ICE officers.
  • Probable cause is required for ICE arrests. Officers must base their suspicions on objective facts, not solely on an individual’s appearance.

Zepeda also advised green card holders to carry their documentation but noted that they are not required to answer further questions beyond providing identification. “Non-citizens have a right to due process, and everyone—regardless of immigration status—has constitutional protections under the law,” she said.

With immigration enforcement efforts increasing in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Zepeda Law Firm remains committed to advocating for the rights of individuals and families affected by these policies. We encourage our community members to seek legal counsel if they have concerns about their rights or immigration status.



At Zepeda Law Firm, we believe that immigrants are an integral part of our community. We handle a variety of legal services, including employment-based immigration, family-based immigration, and citizenship. Our team is committed to helping our clients navigate a complex immigration system and achieve their American dream.
