Sara Cullinane, a lawyer with Make the Road New Jersey, an organization that assists the undocumented, interrupts the skit. She looks around at the 16 undocumented people, including children, seated on folding chairs. Dangling from the basement ceiling are blue streamers left over from a child's birthday party.
"What are the three things you look for?" she asks the group.
"Is the document signed by a judge," several people say.
"How do you spell 'judge' in English," she asks.
The group dutifully spells out "j-u-d-g-e" in Spanish.
"If it is not signed by a judge do you open the door?" she asks.
"No," the group answers.
"What next?" she asks.
"See if it is a judicial warrant," a woman says.
"See if the name on the paper is correct," Carlos, 30, says.
"What should Antonio do?" the lawyer asks.
"Keep the door closed," the group says. "And don't sign anything."
"You have no obligation to tell them what country you are from," the lawyer adds in Spanish. "Tell them you will not speak to them until you contact a lawyer. They may try and use tricks to get inside. They may ask to see your passport. They may ask to look in the house to see if it is secure. They may ask who else lives there. They may ask if you are legal or illegal. If they do not have a search warrant or an arrest warrant signed by a judge, do not let them in. And don't answer their questions."
"If Antonio is arrested does he lose his rights?" she asks.
"No!" the group says.
"Even if you have DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] you don't have to say anything," the lawyer says. "They are taking DACA kids too."
