Protect our community by filming ICE, federal agents

Step 1: What to film

✓ Badges & uniforms (or lack of ID)
✓ Vehicle plates & equipment
✓ Street signs & landmarks
✓ Time, date, number of agents (state aloud)
✓ Clear audio of what ICE says or yells
✓ Film continuously, if you can, from the beginning to the end

✖ DON'T focus on the person arrested 

Step 2: Call PIRC right away, 1-888-622-1510

When the incident is over or if multiple people are available, report the arrest to the PIRC Hotline immediately: call  1-888-622-1510. The operator will walk you through all the details and explain where to send the video clip. Please do not share videos on social media so lawyers, advocates, or family can decide when to release it.

Assess your risk: not everyone can film safely

We have seen ICE and other Federal agents target community members in different states, so it’s essential to assess your own risk before you decide to film an arrest. It’s important to know your rights while filming.

Film openly and follow instructions:

• If told to stop, state: “I have the right to film this.”

• If told to step back: Film yourself moving back and then keep filming the scene

• Narrate facts only: time, location, number of agents

• NEVER reveal your immigration status.

Remember, anything said in the video can be used in court.
