Brother in law used my address for VAWA

This is a bit of a strange situation but I'll try my best to keep it brief.

My mother in law moved to the US nearly thirty years ago. She never applied for residency. My wife and her brother were covered by DACA throughout highschool but were basically SoL afterwards from how I understand it. My wife has her residency now through me but her brother and mother still didn't.

My mother in law decided to apply for VAWA due to being abused by her husband and him never following through on completing the residency application. She ultimately included my brother in law on the application as well. She used my address to submit the paperwork to avoid her husband discovering she had applied.

A few days ago we received a letter denying the request for my brother in law (mother in law wasn't mentioned) and that he had thirty days to leave the country.

So my concern is now, that ICE will come to my address looking for him. Which isn't too worrying in and of itself, but I'm concerned about what would happen if they pressed me for my brother in law's location. Do I have to give them that information if it's requested? Can they detain me if I refuse? Also, I'm here with my young kids during the day and I really don't want anything to escalate.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
