Help If I ctb will ICE come for my family?(HELP!)

[DrowningWithin]

This may seem like a silly question. I am an American however the rest of my family are immigrants. If I ctb (I still live with my family all adults) will ICE get them? Or will there suspicions raised on my family? ICE has been reported 30 mins away/nearby. Does this affect my CTB? My family did nothing wrong so this is not me asking for them to be taken.

I'm not expert, but once you body is found police notifies close family or contacts if none and checks your house as protocol even if you died in other place, if they ask these family members to identify themselves and they do not have an American identification the police could notify ICE.

Thank you! I wasn't sure what would happen. I think I will hold off until things with deportations cool off. I pray they do but this is very hard.

it may take a while, best of luck, if it does not and you can't hold, planning something that involves your body not being able to be found while abroad may be the less risky option if you let a note asking not to be reported as missing for your family

ICE gets illegals not legal immigrants. I don't think anyone cares about who suicide in this country.

This isn't silly at all, it shows you care about protecting your family from a very real threat.

Laws vary a lot between jurisdictions in the US, so the details will vary depending on which city, county, and state the death occurs. Any suicide will be treated as a suspicious death, so the police and the medical examiner or coroner's office will open independent investigations.

The police will determine wheter a crime has been committed, and they will notify the next of kin of the death. They will probably ask the next of kin for identification, and most likely just a driver's license or state ID card would be sufficient for that. This is where location makes a big difference. If you're in a liberal state or jurisdiction the police might not be allowed to ask about immigration status, and they would not cooperate with agencies like ICE on immigration enforcement except in limited circumstances. The California Values Act is an example. So if you're in one of these so-called sanctuary jurisdictions, you wouldn't have to worry much about the death investigations causing family members to get swept up by ICE. However outside those jurisdictions, especially anti-immigration states in the South, it is possible the police could contact ICE if they suspect immigration law violations.

The medical examiner or coroner will investigate the cause of death, and they may need to communicate with your family directly or through the police. I think it's unlikely the medical examiner or coroner would be interested in immigration enforcement. However from your family's perspective they are government agents working closely with police, and it probably would be very stressful for your family members to interact with them, so that's something to take into consideration if you decide to CTB.

those laws you mention are if i understand correctly in the process to be overruled federally and if a state ignores there is already a process to criminalize that

The Justice Department is directing its federal prosecutors to investigate for potential criminal charges against any state or local officials who stand in the way of beefed-up enforcement of immigration laws under the Trump administration.

I'm in the Northeast, by the water. My state says it will fight back against deportation. I feel like I'm unsure. I don't know if there's still time before anything is finalized or it's too risky. When my brother had passed (7 months ago), nothing happened to my family despite his and our status. He's an immigrant but he died in an accident. Do you think this will still happen? Can my parents be liable for my ctb? I recently became an adult and I had previously had a case manager. I don't know if the law will try to punish them.

I'm trying to go for full suspension in my backyard or home.

I believe my family would be in deep trouble if they do not report my death. I can travel elsewhere and maybe make it seem like an accident.

I feel trapped, I don't know what to do anymore. My family is relying on me for green cards etc but when we tried in 2020 for my sisters. It was denied due to Trump plans. So thousands of dollars went down the drain.

I don't think I can protect them.
