Customs officers can ask about your immigration status when entering or leaving the country. If you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR) who has maintained your status, you only have to answer questions establishing your identity and permanent residency.

ICE accepts anonymous reports by phone and online. Call 1-866-347-2423, the ICE Homeland Security Investigations Tip Line, to report an immigration violation from the U.S. or Canada. If you are in another country, call 1-802-872-6199.

Texas passed legislation in November 2023 that enables state and local law enforcement agencies to question and arrest any individual they believe to be an undocumented immigrant at ports of entry, although its implementation is currently on hold due to legal challenges.
