ICE is still around, and in Truman Square.

As soon as our office was notified by neighbors, we immediately worked to confirm the details and connected with the partner of the individual taken.

If you witness or suspect ICE activity, please call the FSN Hotline at (855) 435-7693. Your awareness helps keep our community safe and supported.
