Note that you will need to enter their name exactly as it appears on ICE\u2019s system\u2014and ICE frequently makes mistakes. If they don\u2019t show up in the system, try spelling their name in a few different ways. If they have multiple last names, or middle names, try various combinations of<br\/>those names.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/wotsnj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-01-08-at-10.17.52-AM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wotsnj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-01-08-at-10.17.52-AM.jpeg 924w, https:\/\/wotsnj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-01-08-at-10.17.52-AM-139x300.jpeg 139w, https:\/\/wotsnj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-01-08-at-10.17.52-AM-473x1024.jpeg 473w, https:\/\/wotsnj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-01-08-at-10.17.52-AM-768x1662.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wotsnj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-01-08-at-10.17.52-AM-710x1536.jpeg 710w, https:\/\/wotsnj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-01-08-at-10.17.52-AM-499x1080.jpeg 499w, https:\/\/wotsnj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-01-08-at-10.17.52-AM-600x1299.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KNOW YOUR RIGHTS Knowledge is power.
