With rumors and uncertainty swirling, and fear reaching a new peak, a lot of people are reaching out for a resource they can go to if ICE makes an appearance with intentions to detain a family member, friend, neighbor, employee, or stranger.
While we're aware of discussions and workshops happening this weekend to seek solutions, and a wider Day Without Immigrants planned for Monday, we wanted to make our readers aware of the local rapid response networks being set up by immigrant rights and civil rights organizations, like CHIRLA and ORALE, to help report and document ICE activity in the Southland.
Below are the numbers for the local rapid response networks, from the website of the American Civil Liberties Union in Southern California. Thanks to all those dedicated to protecting civil liberties and the safety and rights of immigrants, and all people deserving of their humanity to be protected in the United States.
In case of an emergency, you can report ICE activity and enforcement actions by calling your local rapid response network.
