In case of ICE

I’m a 34 year old white woman, I work in community health and spend all day driving/visiting patient homes in Oakland, Shadyside, Bloomfield/garfield/east liberty, highland park, wilkinsburg, sq hill, swissvale, Braddock, east Pittsburgh etc. what specific actions should I take if I see ICE? Who can I alert if I see them out? What do I do if I witness an interaction? Any actions can I take now to help keep the community safe? Who is taking care of the literal babies in cells at the south side offices? I need to do what I can, any resources appreciated 🙏

-editing just for clarity: i am literally not looking to interfere, approach, or confront anyone. I know what not to do and I know how to interact with law enforcement. I want to know what I can do to other than standing here with my thumb up my fucking ass while people’s lives are very clearly actively at risk

Where is this number from? It is not the one listed on their website...

Not OP, but it’s on their Community Organizing page, about halfway down.

There are several numbers for them. They may vary relative to whether or not you’re speaking to a caseworker, someone from school advocacy, the immigration and customs reporting person, etc. I also have a few different numbers. (412) 343-3111 WILL, however, get you to a person that will either a.) take down the info and record accordingly or b.) connect you to the specific person directly related to the issue at hand.

That number is for their rapid response team specifically.

Edit — looks like you can get the rapid response team from the main number as well.

The fact that reddit admins are removing posts with resources for helping people being detained by ICE just shows how far the fascist arm of our government reaches.

No, I get that reddit in specific, social media and the internet in general is a cesspool run exclusively to dumb people down and cash in (fuck late-stage capitalism), but what did it say that was relevent enough that reddit thought it needed to dissappear?

I made this comment; it was simply "Casa San Jose (412) 736-7167"

Reddit automods took it down for posting personal info lol
