The Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition’s program regarding ICE enforcement:
Witnessing ICE activity, or think you might be?
Call 1-844-864-8341 and dial 1 to speak with a dispatcher
The dispatcher will ask for more location and situation details from you, then send trained volunteers to the scene
If an ICE raid is occurring, volunteers will record the event, seek to identify the agents participating, and remind those involved of their constitutional rights. After the incident, if possible, volunteers will follow up to connect you with a local member of CIRC’s statewide DocuTeam, who will work with you to document the event and refer you to legal resources if necessary.
Documentation is used to monitor police/ICE collaboration, detect patterns that can guide our legislative efforts, and build a strong statewide network of people resisting deportations in their own communities. The testimonies of directly impacted people helped Colorado repeal our “show me your papers” law that forced local police to act as ICE agents in 2013.
CORRN Hotline and DocuTeam
The Colorado Rapid Response Network (CORRN) runs a 24/7 hotline for anyone witnessing or experiencing ICE activity. Callers can use the 24/7 hotline either to report ongoing ICE activity or to document a past experience with ICE. If the call is for current activity, trained volunteers will respond at the scene to document the activity and ensure that all those involved know their rights. If not, the caller can leave a message and a member of the CORRN DocuTeam will follow up with them to record the details of their story. We use documentation to monitor police/ICE collaboration, find patterns that can guide our legislative efforts, and build a strong statewide network of people resisting deportations in their own communities. The testimonies of directly impacted people helped Colorado repeal our “show me your papers” law that forced local police to act as ICE agents in 2013.
CORRN is made up of the following members: American Friends Service Committee, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, Colorado People’s Alliance, Mi Familia Vota, Padres y Jóvenes Unidos, Together Colorado, and United for a New Economy. The network is also supported by SEIU Local 105, Colorado Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
