Watch The State

Do You Have Video or Images Showing Abuses Against Immigrant and U.S. Citizen Communities?

Documenting ICE and police misconduct provides crucial and often indispensable evidence that can be used to support legal cases and ensure accountability.

Libre 805’s “Watch The State” campaign is a community defense group that helps people know their rights and report police abuse. They collect videos from witnesses and those affected to create a detailed record of federal agents and police abuses. This evidence supports efforts to hold agencies like ICE responsible for breaking the law.
