To report immigration enforcement operations and request referrals for local, regional, or national legal immigration and other support services. Following a report of ICE enforcement, the networks will send out volunteers and staff to investigate and verify the report's accuracy. Each group, or cell, is made up of attorneys, legal observers, educators, organizers, and documentarians trained to verify reports and mobilize support efforts for those impacted by ICE operations.

The number, (213) 833-8283, will be serviced by English- and Spanish-speaking staff Monday through Friday from 9AM-4PM PST. 

Importantly, this phone line will not be used to provide legal advice, and calls do not guarantee legal representation.
