A: If you accept payment from him, he may claim that you blackmailed him, which is also a Federal crime. He may also claim that he is bisexual. You can’t prove that the child is his without filing for child support, which you should do.

You can report a crime in progress, but if you lack enough information, then ICE may be unable to stop him. It is up to ICE to decide whether to investigate. You may have to admit facts that may be misinterpreted and arguably criminal. Those facts can get you in trouble.

As a result, you must decide what you want to do. You have no affirmative duty to report, but sometimes facts can look suspicious and be subject to scrutiny through interrogation. Good luck.
