Anyone who sees ICE agents in the area can call (707) 621-8220 to report sightings to the Mendocino County Rapid Response Network, which has volunteers trained and ready to quickly identify, verify, and inform the community if ICE is conducting raids or detaining immigrants locally. The network also works to dispel false rumors of ICE sightings, share verified information with local news outlets, and post updates about ICE activity on social media.

A coalition of organizations are gearing up on Thursday, preparing to hand out flyers to hundreds of immigrant families who live in the South Bay. Ashley Lejis is the Accompaniment Coordinator with the Rapid Response Network in Santa Clara County. "It's designed for community members if they see or suspect to see ICE or if a loved one is detained by ICE, or if ICE shows up at your door. You call this hotline number," Lejis said.

The Rapid Response Network operates a hotline to mobilize volunteers and support immigrant families during ICE actions. The network consists of 11 organizations and hundreds of volunteers.
