What to do if you see ICE

  1. First, make sure you’re safe. Don’t rush or escalate.

  2. If it’s safe to do so, step outside and be visible. If you are undocumented, stay inside.

  3. Document what you can using a camera, or pen and paper: names, time, location, vehicles, badge numbers.

  4. Don’t engage agents! Your presence matters more than confrontation.

NOTE: AZAdvocacyHub shares general information about publicly visible activity with the whole community. It is not directed at any individual, and it does not encourage anyone to interfere with, obstruct, or evade law enforcement. Observers should keep a lawful distance, follow officer instructions about physical positioning, and know their rights.


After Someone is Detained

  • Post a simple “Taken Here” notice so neighbors know what happened.

  • Share details with local immigrant rights or rapid response groups so families aren’t left trying to piece things together alone.


Report ICE Activity

Arizona has several community-run hotlines where ICE activity can be reported. Which number to use depends on where you are in the state.
