So whether you answer or not to immigration or local police enforcement is up to you.

Usually, if you are being questioned by an immigration officer, its because they already know your status, and are already looking for you. Now, if its a police officer questioning you on a different matter, then there should be no detention _base_d on immigration grounds.
