Scam/Fraud Warning: Scammers Impersonating DHS/ICE Officers To Rob Victims of Hurricane Harvey8/31/2017 Earlier today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that there are disturbing reports of people impersonating Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents. The importers knock on doors in the Houston area telling residents to evacuate -- presumably so that they can rob the empty homes. DHS wants to remind individuals that real HSI officials wear badges that are labeled "special agent," which members of the public can ask to see and verify. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers with Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) also wear badges labeled with ERO Officer. They also carry credentials with their name and organization. Members of the public who receive such visitors should ask to see these properly labeled badges, and their credentials.

So your child has weathered high school. She has done it all; studied hard and built a good transcript, took all those dreaded standardized tests and AP exams, participated in athletics, played the violin, and has been accepted to her dream college. She is spending the summer relaxing, hanging out with friends, and maybe also holding down a job to earn some money before heading off to school. She is picking out what to get for her dorm room, and you are thrilled for her to be “on her own.” But maybe you are also a bit scared. This is still your child, after all, even if legally, after 18, your baby is considered an adult. Your child’s legal status as an adult presents some challenges for parents, because after 18, we cannot have access to their health information, for example, even in an emergency. HIPAA, the Heath Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, protects the privacy of a patient’s health care information. Doctors and medical facilities are potentially liable for unauthorized disclosure of that information, even if it is to a college student’s parents.
