SITUATIONS AND ACTIONS TO TAKE
If you are stopped by an agent
- Stay calm. Do not run or resist.
- Ask: “Am I free to go?” If they say yes, calmly walk away.
- You have the right to remain silent.
If detained or arrested
- Clearly state: “I wish to remain silent, and I want a lawyer.”
- Do not sign anything or answer questions without an attorney present.
- If someone you know is detained, write down their full name, date of birth, and where they were taken so you can notify their family and call the Rapid Response hotline.
If you are a bystander
- You have the right to record from a public space as long as you do not interfere.
- Document what you see: note the date, time, location, vehicle numbers, and agents’ names or badge numbers (if visible).
- Keep a safe distance, do not block officers or physically intervene.
- If it’s safe, verbally check in with the person being detained (“Do you want me to call someone for you?”).
- Collect or confirm their name and contact info if possible, so you can notify family or call the Rapid Response hotline (415-200-1548).
- Stay nearby until the situation ends and share your notes or video only with trusted legal or community advocates.
If agents come to your home or business
- Stay polite but firm.
- Do not open the door unless agents show a judicial warrant. A paper signed by a judge with your name and address on it.
- You are not required to give ICE access without this judicial warrant. Administrative ICE warrants (Forms I-200 or I-205) are not the same and do not authorize entry.
- If they do not have a judicial warrant, say: “I do not consent to a search or entry.”
- If they force entry, do not resist, but record and document the situation.
Regarding immigration status
- Non-citizens must carry their immigration documents, but you can remain silent if asked about citizenship status.
- Never lie or provide false documents.

Overview Link to this section
Francisco Middle School, located in the heart of the Chinatown-North Beach community, has a rich tradition of delivering a strong academic curriculum to our diverse student population. We involve our students in meaningful school experiences that promote the joy of learning while addressing students' individual needs. Our school believes that all students should have access to an appropriate and quality education that prepares them to be high functioning members of the community. We believe that personal relationships between staff and students, and student to student are essential to student achievement. Students tell us they are the most engaged when they feel a connection with their teachers and can work with their peers. We believe that achievement is not an end result, but a process of continuous improvement, and that struggle, mistakes, and effort are necessary for growth. We offer a network-ready computer lab, library media center, and computers in every classroom.
