Yes, Rapid Response anti-ICE efforts in Seattle operate using Signal.
The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN) runs the state’s Rapid Response program, which relies on Signal chat groups to coordinate volunteers. Residents who join a team are assigned to a specific geographic area and communicate through these encrypted Signal chats to respond quickly to ICE sightings. When a sighting is reported—via a hotline (1-844-RAID-REP) or direct alert—information is relayed to the closest Signal group for immediate action.
These teams are trained to document raids, protect individuals’ rights, and ensure safety through coordinated presence, often using tools like whistles and real-time vehicle tracking. The system is part of a broader network that includes neighborhood-based chats, data collection, and rapid mobilization, all designed to deter ICE operations and protect immigrant communities.
