Editorial Policy and Reporting Methodology

ICE Spotted is a community safety platform. This page explains how we handle reports, what we publish, and how we correct errors.

1. Current Static Build Status

• Some map markers and feed entries shown on this site are curated example entries used to explain page structure and reporting context in this static build.
• Direct submission from on-page report forms is currently disabled while we migrate to a reviewed intake workflow.
• We do not treat these example entries as exhaustive real-time coverage or as official enforcement totals.

2. Anonymous Reporting and Data Minimization

• When direct intake is available, we do not require account creation to submit a sighting.
• Reports are designed for minimum personal data exposure.
• We publish operational details needed for public awareness, such as location context, time window, and visible activity type.

3. How We Review Community Reports

• We check internal consistency in timeline, location clues, and described behavior.
• We compare new submissions against recent nearby reports to identify overlaps and reduce duplicates.
• When uncertainty is high, reports are framed cautiously and without definitive legal conclusions.

4. Sources and Content Standards

• Guides rely on publicly available legal rights resources and policy information.
• State pages summarize recurring community-report patterns and are not official enforcement totals.
• Operational claims are presented as reported activity, not adjudicated findings.

5. Corrections and Updates

• If a page contains a material error, we correct or clarify it as quickly as possible.
• Substantive updates are reflected in page content and sitemap freshness.
• Correction requests can be submitted via Contact.

6. Legal and Safety Notice

• Site content is informational and not legal advice.
• For case-specific guidance, consult a qualified immigration attorney.
• During any encounter, prioritize personal safety first.
