Rapid Response Network
The Rapid Response Network (RRN) in Santa Clara County is a community defense project developed to protect immigrant families from deportation threats and to provide accompaniment support during and after a community member’s arrest or detention.
The Rapid Response Network Relies on volunteers to protect our neighbors at risk of ICE activity. Anyone can call the 24/7 hotline to report ICE activity in our county and receive help in real time!
When You Call the Rapid Response Network:
An experienced dispatcher will support members of our community in asserting their rights and will dispatch trained responders to the site.
If needed, rapid responders will conduct legal observation and documentation that may be used to support the immigration case of the community member.
If a community member is detained, we connect them to immigration attorneys and activate accompaniment teams to provide moral support to the family.
ANY concerned community member in Santa Clara County can call the hotline when:
They suspect immigration enforcement activity in their neighborhood.
Are the target of an enforcement activity.
Have had a loved one detained by ICE.
No families in our community will have to go through this painful process alone!
