• Spread Power, Not Panic / Comparte Poder, No Miedo
  • False information about immigration enforcement and border patrol sightings can create unnecessary panic in immigrant communities. If you believe you see ICE or CBP officers, ask yourself the following questions before making a report/posting on Social Media:
    • What agency are they from? Are there logos or names on their uniforms or vehicles?
    • What are they wearing? What vehicles are present?
    • Are they stopping and questioning people? Is anyone being detained?
    • What are they doing? If you feel safe, can you approach and ask them why they are there?
    • Remember – you have the legal right to film the police and/or Immigration officers if they are in a public place and if the filming does not impede the performance of their duties.
