See Something, Say Something
Knowledge is power and community knowledge saves lives. This page connects you with digital tools to monitor surveillance, document enforcement actions, and share real-time information with your neighbors. Together, we can build a network of awareness that keeps our communities informed, prepared, and safe.
Community Monitoring Now
ICE enforcement actions have intensified across the United States, with raids occurring in workplaces, homes, courthouses, and public spaces. In this climate, community-led monitoring has become a critical form of collective protection.
Documenting ICE activity isn’t just about awareness—it’s about accountability. Every verified report helps build a clearer picture of enforcement patterns and protects vulnerable community members. Surveillance is a two-way street—by mapping the tools used to track us, we can reclaim our privacy and safety.

The DeFlock Movement
DeFlock is an open-source project mapping Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) across the United States. These AI-powered cameras capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like location, date, time, make, model, color, and identifying features—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime.
ALPRs track your movements and store your data for long periods, creating a detailed record of your location history. Data from these systems has led to wrongful arrests, profiling, and even stalking by police officers. There’s no substantial evidence that ALPRs effectively prevent crime. Once your data leaves your community, you have no control over how it’s used.
⚠️ Critical: Flock Safety is one of the largest ALPR vendors. Their cameras are installed for police departments, businesses, and HOAs. Data is uploaded to Flock’s cloud where agencies can search and share across jurisdictions.
DeFlock Tools
DeFlock is crowdsourced, open-source, and privacy-focused. No personal data is collected.

While invaluable for raising awareness, crowdsourced reports should be treated as a precautionary layer of information—not immediate fact. Your safety and the safety of others is always the top priority. Pair digital awareness with knowledge of your legal rights, a family preparedness plan, and connections to local immigrant advocacy networks.
Protect Your Digital Privacy
Your digital footprint matters. Meta platforms have a documented history of sharing user data with law enforcement. Here’s how to protect yourself and your community.
Use Encrypted Messaging
Signal and Element provide end-to-end encryption. Your conversations stay private—no third-party access, no data sharing with law enforcement.
Choose Federated Platforms
Mastodon offers decentralized social media. You control your data, not a corporation. No algorithm, no surveillance, no data mining.
Secure Your Email
ProtonMail provides encrypted email with zero-access encryption. Your communications stay between you and your recipients—no government requests can read them.
Assume Infiltration
Always assume your groups are infiltrated. Behave as though every text could be read aloud in court. If someone encourages illegal activity, they might be a federal agent.
