🕊 Volunteer as an ICE Chaser with GLAHR! 🕊

Join GLAHR's ICE Chasers Rapid Response! The team's goal is to document ICE arrests, create awareness within the undocumented and immigrant communities of their constitutional rights, and call attention to ICE arrests in the community. Identify whether local law enforcement is collaborating with ICE. Volunteers must be willing to talk to law enforcement officers to verify what agency they are with. Additional tasks may include recording law enforcement activity.

 

You do not have to speak Spanish, but ICE Chasers must be allies and U.S. citizens or residents for safety. Individuals willing to become ICE Chasers will receive ICE Free Zone and other training. Individuals who want to volunteer with ICE Chasers must fill out the form below.
