How to report an Illegal Immigrant

Here are some resources to report illegal immigrants, employers that hire illegal aliens, smugglers, human trafficking, and immigrant gang activity. These resources can be used to report illegal immigrants, report employers that hire illegal aliens, report illegal border crossings, report document and tax fraud, and other legal issues that Illegal aliens and the criminal element provide.

You should only use these numbers to report suspected criminal situations. Most of these agencies offer services to make reports confidentially or anonymously.

Gather as much information as possible before calling in a report. Depending on the nature of your report, you should gather as many accurate names, addresses, phone numbers, and details such as vehicle tag numbers, or any other information you can obtain. Take a picture with your cell phone camera to provide photographs or video to give to law enforcement when ever possible. Take notes on  date and time of events and have this information in hand.

Keep in mind that most of our immigration enforcement agencies are under-staffed and under-funded and under orders to turn a blind eye to illegal aliens.

These agencies understand the local crime patterns and can provide great assistance to you. These agencies should be encouraged to do as much as they can to make sure illegal aliens that are arrested for crimes are then processed by ICE.
