Give a little whistle

 The idea behind the whistle is simple: If you see ICE agents, you let out three short tweets to alert people in the area of the presence of federal agents. If you see ICE agents detaining someone, you let out three prolonged tweets to call witnesses to the scene. Witnesses are legally permitted to document arrests; this evidence can be used later in court or to find detainees after arrest.

She also said law enforcement officials have to follow procedures when they detain someone. 
“I would be surprised to see that pulling up in an unmarked van, grabbing people off the street is an acceptable policy for a criminal investigation,” Albines said.
