Call to Report an ICE Sighting | 1-888-600-5762
One common issue is parents being taken by ICE leaving children behind. Unfortunately, that can result in children either being detained themselves or placed into the foster care system. There will then be a lengthy court battle, often involving lots of attorney fees to have a family member gain guardianship or temporary custody of the children.
One way to avoid that is to ensure that families have a temporary Power of Attorney form that can be held by someone the family trusts. That would ensure that if a parent is taken, then someone the family trusts can step in and have legal authority to pick the children from school, take them to medical appointments, etc.
Hillsborough is the 13th Circuit Court, and the form below is from the 15th Circuit Court here in Florida, however, it should be honored here in Hillsborough. Form is at the link below or Page 2 of this tab.
