If you see ICE activity, suspect an enforcement action, or someone you know is detained, follow these steps to ensure accurate and effective reporting.

1. Be The Primary Witness: Only report what you personally see to prevent misinformation.

2. Provide a Specific Location: Clearly state the exact address or cross streets where ICE activity is happening. If it’s a business or apartment complex, include the name if possible.

3. Take a Picture or Video: If it is safe to do so, capture photos or videos of ICE agents, vehicles, or activity.

4. Identify ICE Behavior: Describe what ICE officers are doing. Are they arresting, interrogating, or patrolling? Are they entering homes or workplaces? Are they stopping people on the streets?

5. Describe What ICE Officers Are Wearing: Are they in plain clothes, uniforms, or vests? Do they have badges, weapons, or tactical gear?

6. IMPOTANT:

   1. DO NOT approach ICE agents or interfere with their actions.

   2. DO NOT share videos or images on social media before calling ACILEP.

   3. DO NOT assume someone has been detained without confirming.
