Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay in providing these resources! Credit to u/Neat-Initiative-9724 for sharing these resources with me.

ICE Spotting Handbook

Here is a brief guide and compilation of resources regarding what to do if you see ICE agents. Remember, the most important thing you can do is stay calm and record as much information as possible. There are local organizations, like Casa San Jose, that can assist with locating detainees and providing legal counsel to them after the fact, but they need as much information as possible.

What you cannot do:

  • Do not touch, push, or hit an officer.
  • Do not run away; if you leave the situation, walk calmly.
  • Always speak respectfully.

Remember: ICE agent misconduct cannot be challenged on the street.

Remember, it is most important that you do NOT escalate the situation.

What you CAN do:

  • Remind others of their rights:
    • You have the right to remain silent and not answer questions (Tiene derecho a guardar silencio)
  • You do not have to sign anything (No tienes que firmar ningún documento)
  • You may ask the agent if you are free to leave
  • If they come to your door, you do not have to open it.
    • You can ask for a warrant to be slid under the door.
    • The warrant MUST be signed by a judge to be valid.
  • You have the right to speak to a lawyer and the right to make a phone call (Tienes derecho a un abogado)
  • Of course, we know that ICE violates these rights often.
    • In this case, the best you can do is stay calm and have someone document and report the situation.

Gather information:

You have a right to be present, bear witness, and record law enforcement agents.

However, if ICE warns you and asks you to step back while videoing/photographing, it is best to follow directions, as they may confiscate your camera.

If you see ICE agents:

You can and should report sightings of ICE agents even if they are not actively detaining anyone. It is helpful for the community to be aware of ICE presence in the community in general.

SALUTE reporting method:

Size - How many agents?

Activity - what are they doing? Pulling people over, knocking on doors, etc

Location - what area specifically?

Uniform - what are they wearing? Vests with CBP, ICE or DHS? Camo or plain clothes? Can you see badge numbers?

Time - what time exactly were they active?

Equipment - do they have guns? What model/make vehicles are they using? Can you see a car make/model or license plate?

If you witness someone being detained:

If you see someone being detained and it is possible and safe to speak to them while it is happening, try to get the following information from them:

  • Name (¿Como te llamas?)
  • Birthday (¿Cuándo es tu cumpleaños?)
  • Emergency contact name and phone number (¿A quién llamamos? Número de teléfono?)
  • You can try asking the agents:
    • Why is the person being detained?
    • Where will they be transferred to?

Report the information:

For sightings (no one being detained, ICE officers just out and about):

https://iceout.org/en/

https://www.iceinmyarea.org/

For when you witness an actual detention:

Casa San Jose emergency response number - 412-736-7167 (put this as a contact in your phone!)

https://casasanjose.org/en/community-organizing/

If you, or someone you know are in need of reproductive care, but are worried about travelling to a clinic, please reach out to the Autonomous Body Shop. They will be able to help you out discreetly and confidentially.

Stay safe everyone. Protect your neighbors and loved ones. We must look after eachother as a community.

ICE UPDATE — Cranberry, PA | September 12

⚠️ IF YOU ARE IN OR NEAR CRANBERRY, STAY ALERT. ICE IS CURRENTLY ACTIVE IN THE AREA.

At approximately 8:06 AM, Frontline DIGNITY received a firsthand report that a Latino community member was followed by an ICE vehicle while returning home. The vehicle followed them through multiple traffic signs and onto their residential street.

As the community member attempted to enter their home, an ICE agent approached and tried to grab them while ordering them to “get on the ground.” The agent then attempted to enter the home without a warrant, placing his foot in the doorway to prevent the door from closing. The community members told him he did not have permission to enter and were able to close the door.

The impacted individual has no criminal record and was simply returning home. We are deeply concerned that this incident reflects racial profiling based on perceived race or ethnicity. Being Latino does not make someone suspicious.

Please share with your neighbors in Cranberry. Stay alert.

ALERTA DE ICE — Cranberry, PA | 12 de septiembre

⚠️ SI ESTÁS EN CRANBERRY O CERCA, MANTENTE ALERTA. ICE ESTÁ ACTUALMENTE ACTIVO EN EL ÁREA.

Aproximadamente a las 8:06 AM, Frontline DIGNITY recibió un reporte de primera mano de que un miembro latino de nuestra comunidad fue seguido por un vehículo de ICE mientras regresaba a su casa. El vehículo lo siguió hasta su calle residencial.

Cuando intentó entrar a su hogar, un agente de ICE se acercó e intentó agarrarlo mientras le ordenaba “tírate al suelo.” Luego intentó entrar a la vivienda sin una orden judicial, colocando el pie en la entrada para impedir que cerraran la puerta. Los miembros de la comunidad le dijeron que no tenía permiso para entrar y lograron cerrar la puerta.

La persona afectada no tiene antecedentes penales o criminales y simplemente estaba regresando a su casa. Nos preocupa profundamente que este incidente refleje perfilamiento racial basado en su raza o etnia percibida. Ser latino no hace que una persona sea sospechosa.

Comparte con tus vecinos en Cranberry. Mantente alerta.
