Staying Safe and Supporting Your Community When ICE Arrives

With ICE and CBP expanding operations across U.S. communities, WIRED lays out a risk-aware toolkit to stay safe and help others: plan emergency contacts and powers of attorney, protect digital privacy, observe and document encounters rather than intervene, report sightings with a SALUTE-style checklist, and choose actions that fit your risk tolerance—from peaceful filming to assisting affected families—while underscoring the heightened dangers, potential for wrongful detentions, and the need for accountability.
