ICE UPDATE - The neighborhood of Westbury Ridge in Millcreek - Erie, PA

At 6:00 PM this evening, ICE followed a Hispanic man from the moment he left work. Thankfully, he was able to get away and was not abducted.
We're seeing a disturbing pattern in Northwestern PA, Hispanic men being followed and targeted by immigration enforcement, raising serious concerns about racial profiling.

No one should be targeted because of the color of their skin.

If you witness or hear of ICE or HSI activity, call our hotline: 814-580-7090 so we can help verify reports and support our neighbors.

ALERTA DE ICE - Barrio de Westbury Ridge en Millcreek
- Erie, PA
Esta tarde, a las 6:00 p. m., agentes de ICE siguieron a un hombre hispano desde el momento en que salió del trabajo. Afortunadamente, logró escapar y no fue detenido.
Estamos observando un patrón preocupante en el noroeste de Pensilvania: hombres hispanos siendo seguidos y señalados por las autoridades migratorias, lo que genera serias inquietudes sobre la discriminación racial (pertilamiento racial).
Nadie debería ser objeto de persecución por el color de su piel.
Si presencia o se entera de actividades de ICE o HSI, Ilame a nuestra línea directa al 814-580-7090 para que podamos ayudar a verificar los reportes y apoyar a nuestros vecinos.
¡Por favor, comparta este post!

ICE UPDATE: Erie - PA | Tuesday September 8, 2026

This evening, Border Patrol was seen circling the Frontier area while a group of immigrant roofers were working to repair damage from last week's storm.

A concerned neighbor contacted our network and our rapid response team went to the scene to support.

Thankfully, the workers had already safely left the scene before our team arrived and no one was abducted.

We're grateful for the concerned neighbors who contacted us today in an effort to keep our community safe.

If you or someone you know is doing construction work in the community, please stay alert and be mindful of your surroundings. No one should have to worry about being targeted while simply working to help their neighbors recover from a storm.

If you witness or hear of ICE or HSI activity, call the our hotline: 814-580-7090 so we can help verify reports and support our neighbors.
Please share with your neighbors!

Flock needs to go. We are showing up to the upcoming Millcreek Supervisors meeting to continue to press the topic because these cameras are mass surveillance plain and simple. This kind of camera has no place in our community and they put us all at risk. 

July 28th at 6pm at the Millcreek Municipal Building for the Supervisors meeting public comment.

We have a list of asks that each of us can repeat so there is clarity on what we want.

"I am formally asking the Millcreek Township to take immediate action regarding Flock cameras and any similar AI-enabled surveillance or automated license plate reader systems that are connected to the internet or capable of large-scale data sharing and tracking.

First, cancel any existing contract or agreement involving Flock Safety or similar surveillance systems.

Second, remove Township access to these camera networks and discontinue participation in any shared surveillance database or monitoring program connected to them.

Third, engage directly with the owners of the Millcreek Mall and any other private properties using these systems, and strongly encourage the removal of AI-enabled, internet-connected surveillance cameras that collect or share mass vehicle or movement data.

Fourth, make clear public statements acknowledging the privacy, cybersecurity, civil liberties, and public safety risks created by networked surveillance systems of this kind.

Finally, work on an ordinance restricting or prohibiting the use of AI-enabled, internet-connected license plate readers and similar mass surveillance camera systems within the Township. If security cameras are necessary for legitimate safety purposes, they can be replaced with traditional closed-circuit systems that do not rely on broad data collection, internet connectivity, artificial intelligence analysis, or large-scale information sharing.

Thank you.”

We will also be pointing out that the ACLU has some legislation ready to go for the Supervisors to pick up for a quick start on taking the cameras down and banning the abuse that comes with them. There are links below that show information that the Supervisors have already been sent. 

There is also a link to more information on the Flock cameras and why they pose such a danger as well as a link to a growing petition for Erie County to remove these cameras from our community.
