*ICE may get a little upset with you if you kidnap and enslave your foreign maid. But, if she can read any English like this, she probably knows enough not to call ICE to “rescue” her.  

In all fairness, this is likely aimed at English-literate Indian and Philippine workers. There was a number of high profile and well subsidized cases both now and on Obama era – domestic worker abuse – often by foreign diplomats – can be so horrific, that being sent home and reunited with family is exactly what these women can hope for.
