I witnessed ICE take away multiple men today and I feel like I failed.

I attended an ICE community watch training around 6 months ago. I am part of a community signal group where we alert each other. I haven’t been able to respond to any of the reports that have happened. There haven’t been regular sightings near me.

It was 630am and I was on my way to work. I work at a hospital and had to be there at 7. I turn a corner and there were like 5 unmarked cars surrounding a white work van and I see multiple men being detained. I panicked and pull around the block within sight. I call the hotline and talked with a couple men who were standing at distant. They shared videos that I forwarded onto our hotline and I shared the hotline number with them.

I know I did something but I should have gotten out of my car. I should have gotten closer. I should have gotten better photos. It’s like I completely forgot what I learned at the training. I have felt sick all day, like I fucked up. It wasn’t enough.
