Community Defense:
Identifying, Monitoring and Documenting Federal immigration actions
Saturday, March 7th 10am
Register On-Line: https://uuchurch.flocknote.com/signup/248312
Join us for an important and timely presentation on community-based immigration monitoring from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. This session will focus on what is commonly called “ICE Watch” or “Migra Watch” — community efforts to observe and document the activities of federal immigration enforcement agencies (i.e.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement(ICE).
Please note: This is not a “Know Your Rights” training. Instead the presentation will explore:
How to identify immigration agents

How to distinguish ICE from local police or other law enforcement

What community members should and should not do if they encounter immigration enforcement activity

How to document responsibly and safely without interfering

Participants will gain a clearer understanding of the visual cues, jurisdictional differences, and practical boundaries involved in community monitoring efforts. The emphasis is on awareness, discernment, and responsible action — not escalation. This training is especially valuable for those who want to show up thoughtfully and effectively in moments of community concern.
All are welcome.
