| The Stop ICE Raids Alert Network let's you send and receive mobile alerts about nearby ICE activity whenever, and wherever it occurs.No downloadable app required. StopICE works with technology already built into your phone. Send and receive mobile alerts via text message, or at stopice.net from any mobile device with a tap of a button. Adjust your notification settings at any time to receive alerts within a certain mile radius of your neighborhood. Alerts are crowd-sourced by the public. This means alerts are sent directly by people from their communities. Stop ICE alerts is also integrated with Signal Messenger via the stopicenet signal bot. Click here to find your local signal group or join the general signal group for alerts. Don't have signal? Click here to subscribe to alerts via text message. Do you track users GPS details? No. Stopice.net calculates polar coordinate distances between zip codes to determin where alerts are sent and received. In other words, Stopice.net does not reference or collect users GPS data but instead references zip codes to determin the broader area of where alerts will be received. Users can utilize a location assist function to share their nearest current location at the time of sending an alert. This function is optional and is typically used when sending an alert while on-the-go or in an unfamiliar area. How do you store user data? StopICE limits the amount of information a user can provide when signing up. User details such as phone # and email are encrypted. StopICE doesn't collect personal details such as name, addresses, or browser history. Due to Google cooperating with administrative subpoenas and voluntarily handing over their user data to DHS, we no longer accept new accounts that use Gmail in their notifications preferences. For consistent user privacy we recommened using Protonmail.com instead. StopICE doesn't read or share browser cookie data to or from any third parties or devices and doesn't integrate authentication tokens with third party authentication schemes. Was Stopice.net subpoenaed by DHS? No. In Sept 2025 The Department of Homeland Security sent a subpoena to Meta for information identifying the owner of the stopicenet Instagram account (even though this information is already public.) Our attorneys with CLDC filed a motion in federal court to block the subpoena. A federal judge granted that temporary order prohibiting DHS from requesting any information on the @stopicenet Instagram account. DHS withdrew and vacated the case. We held our ground and DHS backed off. What if someone else gains access to my stopice.net password and logs into my account? What will they see? In the unlikely event that someone else gained access to your stopice.net account, they would only see the alerts feed for the zip code you've subscribed to, which is already public information. For security purposes, not even the account owner can view their phone number or any additional contact notitification details, nor can they change it without first requesting that the account be deleted. Accounts do not store any personal information or user information related to GPS locations, nor who sent an alert. All alerts on stopice.net are sent anonymously and there is no way to contact the original sender. Why isn't there a downloadable app? We suspected service providers to be compelled by the Trump Administration to remove apps that notify the public about ICE activity. Even though this is a gross violation of the First Amendment, we do not trust big tech service providers to hold their ground. In Oct 2025 , the DOJ sent letters to Apple and Google requesting that they remove "ICE tracking apps" from their app store. As a result, these service providers quickly and voluntarily complied and every single app that notified the public about ICE activity was removed. This is why Stopice.net was designed as a mobile web app and text alert network designed to function with technology already built into every phone. We understand the First Amendment is under attack, this is not our first rodeo, and we will not back down. Downlodable apps and user privacy While there are some great apps out there with reliable security practices, your anonymity and digital privacy does not extend to when you download and install the actual app. Service providers log your device IMEI with each app you download to your phone. This information is often shared with private third parties. An IMEI a unique 15-digit serial number that identifies an individual mobile device (similar to a fingerprint), and it is used by mobile carriers to track devices, who they belong to, and what apps those devices are currently running. Is this service illegal? No. Reporting, documenting, photographing, videotaping any law enforcement officer or law enforcement activity in plainly visible public spaces is protected under the First Amendment of the US Constitution. StopICE exists in the interest of free speech, transparency and public reporting. ACLU: You Have The Right to Record Law Enforcement Officers ..

Crowdsourcing involves a large group of dispersed participants contributing information or feedback rather than relying a smaller or traditional team.
| Crowdsourcing encourages transparency and horizontalism whenever information is disseminated, accessed, checked, redistributed and acted upon. Integrating crowdsourcing models into various grass-roots concepts for community organizing not only gives us an advantage with accessing and sharing information, but also how we can act on it together.
