She noted that while a person could refuse a search, she stressed that this alone was not sufficient grounds for the authorities to abandon their efforts.
"You can say no when they tell you they want to search you, although they will still search you," she said in the video.
NDA's tips on how to survive ICE
Speaking in the video shared on TikTok, the Ghanaian content creator based in the United States shared some tips on how one can survive an ICE search and subsequent deportation.
She noted that these tips were shared with her by some lawyers she spoke to.
Say no
She emphasised that an officer without a warrant does not have the right to search anyone. Therefore, Ghanaians in the US should be firm and refuse a search from an officer without a warrant.
Don't lie
Naana Donkor Arthur noted that if an officer insisted and proceeded with a search despite refusal, one should not lie to them. If you are not a citizen, admit it, and do not falsely claim to be one.
Just listen
The renowned TikToker cautioned against arguing with ICE officers. She advised compliance while remaining firm. She noted that some officers would let one go after a fruitful search.
