If you think you see ICE in your community: Find your local rapid response network!
Rapid response networks respond to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detentions and raids in our communities and provide support to immigrant community members facing detention and deportation. Many California counties have a local rapid response hotline available 24/7. If you or a loved one see ICE in your community, contact a local rapid response network immediately. Do not share unverified information. We must build power -- not panic.
When contacting your local rapid response network or other entities for support, make sure to include as much specific information as possible, including the time, location, type, and size of the potential ICE activity.
