If immigration agents show up in your neighborhood, you might feel driven to warn your community. It is important in these situations to lead with power, not panic.

Remember:
👉 You have the legal right to record, when it is safe to do so. Agents need a warrant to search your phone.
👉 Only share accurate, verified information (not rumors) and make sure to share with local rapid response networks
👉 Be a Supportive Ally: Amplify the voices of immigrants and stand up against misinformation.
👉 Practice SALUTE. Share essential information, like:
S=Size A=Activity L=Location U=Unit T=Time E=Equipment

‍Example: 2 ICE Agents in an SUV are harassing day laborers near the Home Depot on W 17th St at 3:00pm with rifles and radios.

It’s also important to be in communication with your local rapid response network.

Below you'll find a list of Rapid Response Network phone numbers by region.
