A rapid response network is a community-organized system to detect, document, and respond to immigration enforcement activity. Adapted from CopWatch training that originated with the Black Panther Party in the 1960s, ICE Watch focuses on documentation and response because:
It can be the first line of defense to get assistance to impacted people
Immigration enforcers are always changing their tactics and we can learn and share this information
We are all safer when we stick together — there is safety and power in numbers!
Document
Learn to identify ICE vehicles and agents, and report activity using the SALUTE method to ensure accurate, actionable information.
Support
Help community members who are being targeted by shouting Know Your Rights info, getting their information, and connecting them to legal resources.
De-escalate
Use non-violent presence and documentation to deter misconduct and protect neighbors from aggressive activity by any law enforcement agency.
Organize
Build resilient neighborhood networks through training, vetting, and coordinated communication channels.
