The Trump administration continues seeking to ramp up its mass deportation efforts, sending Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers across the country to take undocumented immigrants into custody. In response, immigrants and allies are taking to social media to track ICE activity and warn their undocumented neighbors in real time to avoid enforcement.
Users are sharing real-time locations of ICE vehicles and officers in platforms like TikTok, X, Reddit, Instagram and more. In the first two weeks of March, conversations surrounding ICE amassed almost 300,000 mentions on X, Reddit and YouTube, a more than fivefold increase compared with the same period in February, according to a new analysis from The Washington Post.
