1. Ice Block app.

I have it on my I phone. I think it's available for android too.

[live love laugh]

2. What does it do?

[0rganism]

6. It looks interesting, but seems to be Apple-only due to security constraints

https://www.iceblock.app/android

They note that older iPhones can run the app and you can probably get one cheap.

3. It could be ICE. It could be a criminal gang.

But I repeat myself.

[0rganism]

4. How indeed. Is there a network we can text to, to send out local area warnings?

If that's all it did, I can see the federales shutting it down. Maybe something more like the "nextdoor" app or craigslist?

5. Those roving bands of tweenage shoppers is a real threat.

8. I'm sure it's way more sinister than that.

7. Contact ICIRR to report ICE activity.

https://www.icirr.org/fsn

They may have training or guidance on how/when to report, what kind of confirmation they want, etc.

11. I didn't see your post before I posted mine

Just a general question, what do you think of mobilize.us?

Wikipedia says it's owned by a British private equity firm.

16. Mobilize is an app/website used to schedule/organize around a planned event or petition; I don't see what use it would

be for reporting ICE.

20. You could use it to get in touch with people who do know.

The most effective activism isn't going to happen on cell phone "apps" if the Project 2025 authoritarians have their way.

22. .

The most effective activism isn't going to happen on cell phone "apps" if the Project 2025 authoritarians have their way.

Right, which is why I suggested contacting an organization that explicitly provides a phone number to report ICE sightings and provides know-your-rights training, such as ICIRR.

9. I'm not in Chicago so I don't have local phone numbers...

... but maybe you could find them here:

https://www.mobilize.us/indivisiblechicago/

I probably wouldn't tap on any windows to ask them what they are doing.

10. Ice Ice Baby very loudly

12. Call the police

Haven’t they been telling us for 25 years: “if you see something, say something”?

Mall security too?

[live love laugh]

13. Well ... yeah actually that's something to consider.

[Liberal In Texas]

18. Aren't heavily tinted out front windows illegal?

I would imagine it varies by state.

14. Yell and point

15. Clever

24. If I knew it was ICE

I'd probably start yelling and pointing at the van, saying they keep looking for small children or something. Make it as embarrassing as possible.
If you're in a local discord group post there.
