Ethnic Minority Resources and Immigration

  • If you see ICE activity taking place or see any marked ICE vehicles, please report it immediately to Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network at 1-844-724-3737.
  • If ICE arrives at your door remember that an "ICE warrant" does not entitle them to enter your home. To enter your home, they are required to have a warrant from a local judge.
  • For most people, the fastest form of legal assistance when dealing with ICE is to call the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project at 1-800-445-5771.
